How it's used

Carries a slightly mischievous or gossipy tone, often implying that the couple is trying to avoid being seen by others. It is specifically used for romantic intimacy rather than just spending time together. While it can mean a secret date, it frequently highlights the physical aspect of being close or affectionate in private.

Examples

The two of them are always hiding in the back stairwell to cuddle.

Common phrases

hiding away to be intimate

Common mistake

Do not confuse this with the standard term 約會, which is neutral and simply means to go on a date. Using 依泣 in a formal setting or when describing a public, open relationship will sound inappropriate or overly suggestive.
