Definition
情侣 (qíng lǚ) refers to a romantic couple, typically a boyfriend and girlfriend in a dating relationship. Unlike 情人 (qíng rén), which can mean a secret or extramarital lover, 情侣 is neutral and positive, used for any two people in a romantic partnership. It is a noun for the pair, not the feeling (爱情).
