Legally there is single and married. But outside of that there are a bunch of other terms that describe a relationship.
Dating implies a casual relationship with no commitment. The term GF/BF implies exclusivity.
And referring to her as "the girl I am currently dating" is a HUGE insult, the words "currently" and "dating" imply no commitment. Can you imagine what husband's reaction would be if I referred to him as "my current husband?"
I see that and its pretty obvious. Not sure if i used the word currently or simply the girl im dating. But while you are right, "dating" is a verb and BF/GF are both nouns. What is the verb to be used, between dating and egnagement?
She wants you to call her your gf. which you did in the first line of the OP so I don't see what the problem is.
maybe you think of her as being exclusive to you, but you don't think of yourself as being exclusive to her, which is why you have a problem with calling yourself her bf and her your gf?
I think you are being intentionally dense. She wants to be referred to and thought of by you, as your girlfriend.
Your free to ponder the lack of verb in your own head. You were fine with engagement, so what's the deal.

How about involved with? Living with? Or just change the structure of your sentence so it sounds like you actually care for the girl you're dating.
Oh ok, carry on then. I added something to my previous post for you to consider.
Oh no, we are definitely in an exclusive relationship in every sense. Neither one of us has ever cheated on our SO, so we are pretty clear on where we stand and what we want. In fact, what i like about my current relationship is how well we are able to communicate.
People who only see a non-marital relationship as "dating" tend to marry quicker than those who do not Which makes sense, actually. If you are together for years before ever (or never) marrying, with all the life partnership trappings that may include, you probably have a different viewpoint than if you were only together for 6 months before getting engaged.
