Grahini as a girlfriend

Meaning of a girlfriend

 A girlfriend is a female partner in a non-marital romantic relationship, usually considered more than an ordinary friend, especially in a romantic sense.

The term is most commonly used to describe a girl or a young woman. An older woman in such a non-marital relationship is sometimes described instead as a significant other or partner, especially if the two partners are living together. At times, since "girlfriend" and "partner" mean different things to different people, the distinctions between the terms are subjective, and which term is used in a relationship will ultimately be determined by personal preference.

When used by a girl or woman in a non-sexual, non romantic context, the term "girlfriend" can occasionally be used to denote a close female friend. Sometimes, the phrase "girl friend" (with a space) is used to avoid confusion with the romantic meaning.

Mutual devotion says to the other person, "I desire to put you first. I'm totally committed to your well-being." Think about how good it feels when your spouse lets you know he wants to be with you. Maybe through a twinkle in the eye, a gentle caress, or a loving compliment your mate let's you know he or she is mutually devoted to you.

It feels so good to be affirmed, but don't assume your mate knows you love him -- declare it! Here are some ways to demonstrate your devotion and honour your partner:

• Write a love note on the steamed bathroom mirror.

• Take over your partner's chores when he has had a hard day.

• Send your mate a fax declaring your devotion.

• Women love being part of their men’s social lives. Men do not feel the same way about yours. Don’t drag him around with you everywhere you go, even if it’s fun showing him off to everyone.

• If you are more popular or successful than he is, don’t rub his nose in it. Liz shone a lot of her limelight on Arun when he didn’t want it – if he doesn’t want to dwell in your shadow, don’t force him to.

• Men love showering loved ones with gifts more than they like receiving them. But the moment they realise it’s seen as obligatory rather than a surprise treat, they will lose interest.

• When you are out in public, don’t say ‘go on darling, tell everyone that sweet thing you said to me last night’ or ‘ooh, show everyone that pair of sexy Y-fronts I bought you…’

• Don’t suffocate him with your need to marry, even if you are getting on a bit and you’re not sure where your next child is coming from.

• Don’t go blabbing about your intimate private details to anyone who listens, especially if he prefers to remain mysterious.

• Try to get on with his family. French kissing him in front of his gran isn’t the best way to win favor.

• At the end of the day, if you’re going out with a womanizing, arrogant ‘playa’ like Arun, ignore all the above and get a bloke who gives a damn.
