English term or phrase: an item

¡Hola! Necesito ayuda con la traducción de "an item" en esta oración:
In general, they have at some point been determined to be “an item” with a younger woman, perhaps because such a relationship is more exciting or more manageable than with women their age or older who, presumably because of their life experience, can see through tricks.

Es un análisis de la actitud de los hombres frente a las relaciones de pareja. ¡Gracias!
