A potential future lover(boy), or PFL is a slang term that describes the relation between two people who may or may not end up as a couple. This phrase describes the situation in which one or both of the parties have a romantic interest in each other, before they are officially dating. It describes the twilight zone between acquaintance and dating, if you will.
If a boy and a girl meet at a party and there is an attraction between them, but they donรยดt start dating although they might want to. They hang out and get to know each other and this is when they could start referring to each other as a PFL.
