The meaning of “lover boy” depends on who’s saying it. To some, a lover boy is a sweet, romantic man who wears his heart on his sleeve. To others, it’s a charmer who plays the field and keeps everyone guessing. <\/span><\/p>\n

Often it’s a bit of both, said with a smile or an eye roll. <\/span><\/p>\n

If you’re wondering whether the man you’re seeing fits the label, and what that means for you, this article walks through 7 common signs and how to tell sincere romance from a pattern, so you can decide with a clear head. <\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span>What Does Lover Boy Mean?<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n

The answer changes with the context. <\/span>Dictionary.com<\/span><\/a> lists a few senses: a man you’re in a romantic or sexual relationship with, a playful and affectionate way to address him, and a man who attracts or seeks to attract romantic partners. <\/span><\/p>\n

Merriam-Webster<\/span><\/a> and <\/span>Britannica<\/span><\/a> define it as a man who is a woman’s lover or who has sexual relations with many women. <\/span><\/p>\n

The lover boy meaning in relationship talk usually lands somewhere in the middle: a man who is openly romantic and charming, and who may or may not be serious. That’s why the signs below matter, and why they’re patterns to notice, not a verdict.<\/span><\/p>\n

Curious how this plays out online? This reel looks at the trending lover boy dating trend and how people are talking about it. <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n
