What percentage of MLC'ers have someone else?

IMHOP,

The term "affair" indicates physical involvement.

I believe "emotional" and "physical" affairs to be poor monikers.

A "physical affair" WILL become emotional over time. That is human nature. However, individuals may become emotionally involved with another but there is no guarantee their R will become physical.

The term "affair" is antiquated and probably should be dropped from the English lexicon.

How about "emotional involvement" and "physical/emotional involvement"? Might those broader terms apply to more circumstances?

From personal experience, X told me in the beginning, "He's NOT my boyfriend," but has since described their R as "dating," and more recently on facebook her __?__ is identified as her "friend."

Of course an independent, sane, third party would be better suited to identify their R.
