proximity boyfriend

A proximity boyfriend is someone who you can’t trust further than a 5 metre radius. They aren’t your actual “boyfriend” because he doesn’t use labels..but it feels like you’re in a relationship.

Friend: “Hey is that your boyfriend??”
You: No, we’re not dating
Friend: “So what are you then?”
You: He’s my proximity boyfriend until we make it official (so I’m still single)
Friend: “Just like a proxy girlfriend then!”
