Playmate
Child-centric
Primarily used for relationships between children or recalling childhood friendships.

Most of my favorite memories with my playmate involve our imaginative games.
Positive Emotion
Conveys a positive and friendly relationship with shared activities and enjoyment.

Whenever I felt lonely, I could count on my neighborhood playmate to cheer me up.
Not Romantic
Does not suggest a romantic relationship, but rather an innocent friendship.

In elementary school, my playmate and I preferred adventure games over love stories.
