Boyfriend/girlfriend is sexual or romantic. Man friend/woman friend is 
platonic.
People are supposed to be settled by the time they are adults so they 

until they were engaged they were only friends. There are other phrases 
that are not age specific such as courting, stepping out, seeing each 
other, or winching. Winching is the Scots word for French kissing but 
when applied to a couple it implies that they are in a serious relationship.
