Meaning "boyfriend": boyfriend
The abbreviation "bf" comes from English and stands for "boyfriend". In the German translation, it means "stable friend". If you call someone "bf", it means you are in a romantic relationship with that person.
You should not confuse the abbreviations bf with bff, it is just the name of your best friend, not the name of someone with whom you have a strong partnership.
If you want to use an abbreviation for your girlfriend, just use "gf" or Bae. These two abbreviations are more focused on partnerships with women.
