Chinese translation: 确立亲密关系

English term or phrase: start a relationship(/s)

原文是：People suffer from ... disease are "afraid to start relationships, meet new people...."

这里的”start relationships" 指亲密关系的交往，应该是多指异性交往，不过现在应该也指同性恋的交往，译作“开始交往”似乎不能传达意思。哪位可以解释一下并给点建议吗？谢谢！

呵呵这里有个start 开始状态肯定是恋爱但这个relationship内涵真的比较丰富有点Culture-bound Expression的感觉是比较难把握

Asker: 但是我有一个问题是，有时候处在一个"relationship"的两个人，已经过了恋爱期了，他们可能有了孩子，组成了家庭，虽然未必结婚，这时，他们也许也称自己“in a relationship"
