在美国，约会有很多种类，女孩子也可能同时跟好几个男孩子约会（貌似在中国的一些大城市也差不多哦），并且处于不同的关系会有不同的说法，这与我们中国的文化有太多的差异。这里我们给大家总结了一些约会与情侣关系间说法。

1．怎样约会？"dating"or"going out"

date 和 go out 都可以表示异性朋友（尤其是有感情或是暧昧关系的）之间的约会，我们来看几个例子，体会一下用法：
i dated him when i was in college.

i've only had one date with him so far.

we're going on a date this saturday night.

would you like to go out together sometime?

2.约会的种类 kinds of dates

约会当然也有好几种啦，快看看都有什么呢：
blind date: two people have never met before (often arranged by friends)

double date: where couples get together to do something

hot date: date someone very attractive or used playfully for a date with a friend or spouse

going dutch: date where each person pays his or her share

3．处于恋爱关系中

当一对男女处于恋爱关系中时，该怎样描述呢：

they are in a relationship.
is she seeing anyone now?
i think we are going steady.

see someone 和 go steady 都表示"长期和某人约会，处于恋爱关系中"。

4．"天生一对"的伴侣

看到一对幸福的伴侣，你心里一定会想到"天生一对"这样的词吧，那这样的表达用英语该怎么说呢：

they were made for each other.
aren't they the perfect couple?
they are a match made in heaven.
i think they are good together.

5．夫妻关系

如果两个人成为夫妻，或是结成了长期稳定的伴侣关系，又该怎样描述呢：

a couple: two people dating exclusively
例如：they are really nice couple.

an item: a couple who is the topic of gossip or interest.
例如：so are you two an item now?

sweet heart: girl friend or boyfriend; implies a sweet relationship
例如：he married his high school sweet heart.

lovers: a couple who show their affection openly
例如：those two lovers just got married last month.

6．露水姻缘

都说情和性可以分开，只是为了一时的寻欢作乐发生的情事也不少，像这样的事情我们用下面的词来形容：

love affair 例如：he had a love affair with a french girl when he was studying in france.

summer fling 例如：it was nothing serious; it was just a summer fling.
