term for boyfriend in Argentina
Hi all, I'm looking for an appropriate term for "boyfriend" in Argentina, specifically Patagonia, and specifically the word a teenager would use. When I lived in Chile we would have said "pololo," but that was a while ago, and my sense is that that term isn't used in Argentina, anyway. And "novio" gives me vibes more like "fiance," which is a bit too serious for a teen crush! Suggestions?

¡Hola Olmue! // Hi Olmue!
Si buscas una sola palabra entonces es 'amigovio' como te han sugerido mis colegas. 'Amigovio' es lo que nosotros llamamos un 'amigo con derecho a roce'. // If you look for a single word it's 'amigovio' as my colleagues had suggested. 'Amigovio' is what we call 'friend with right to touch'.
Generalmente cuando la relación no es formal decimos: 'el chico con el que sale' o 'el chico con el que se está viendo'. // Generally when the relation isn't serious we say: 'the boy she's dating' or 'the boy she's seeing'.
Espero que pueda servirte de ayuda. // Hope this could be of help.
