English: "lover"

Unfortunately, in English, the word "love" is occasionally used as a euphemism for "sex". The word "lover" is one such case. Therefore, sadly, "lover" is a bit of a dirty word in English.

To put it bluntly, "lover" really means "f***er" ("SEXer"). It is often used to refer to a clandestine, extramarital, sexual partner.

Here are some examples:
"I want some loving." = "I want some sex."
"Are they lovers?" = "Are they f***ing each other?"

So, when advertising a family-orientated app, the phrase "that special someone" would probably be (a little bit coyer and more intriguing, and) more pleasant and attractive to potential customers than the word "lover".
