At parties, for example, you can ficar with several different people. This might involve dancing, chatting, buying a drink and usually includes kissing and cuddling. It can also include sex, but not necessarily. It may last for only hours, especially at social events, but it can also last for weeks or even months. If the relationship becomes more serious it is then called namoro (‘dating’) which, in theory, involves fidelity and commitment. The person is called the ficante:

September...1886
I have a new label. It´s made of leather, and it shows two horses. The horses are tying to pull a pair of pants in two. of course, they can´t do it - Levi´s are too strong.
