“In unzerer Yeshivish circlesm it is pahsnisht to be dating anyone publicly until the engagement is announced…. Following that geder, there will not be any “how other people refer to us” scenarios…”
Huh?? if a young man and woman are meeting for a drink in a hotel lobby, walking in the park, etc. whether pursuant to a shadchan or having met through friends, and they run into an acquaintance, I think the OP is asking a logical question of how they should introduce the other.
How about “my friend XXX” with no need to add any adjectives or descriptors or status report on what may or not be a longer term relationship.
