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.
