"GTYAD" is "Guy That You Are Dating" referring to the non-commital term I used earlier. We've only been dating now for a month and a half, so "BF" seemed premature, and "SO" is WAY premature. There was something else someone used in her thread once...DH? I can't remember...but I couldn't figure out what it stood for. I'm new to all these online abbreviations. I would say he qualifies as my boyfriend now, but am afraid to say it outloud. He very sweetly offered to take my bike up to his apartment near Central Park, by the way, so that I can ride around the park a few times without worrying about traffic while I get used to the new bike.
