Tough one. I freely admit to having used "I have..." at various points in my life. I don't know what it is about the phrase that rubs me wrong exactly -- yeah there are overtones of possession, though as briandmyers points out, it's mostly coincidental -- but it's hard to avoid using. I like "I'm with someone" or "I'm dating a girl named x" as direct replacements, but it doesn't always sound right, and those aren't perfect substitutes.How do you bring a significant other up in the context of a conversation?
