Relations, a relationship

Do you have a relationship with Mary? (correct)

The other sentence does make sense to me.

I agree that #2 sounds a little 'off' in some way, but I interpret it to mean that they are sexually involved.

sitifan1. Do you have a relationship with Mary?
2. Do you have relations with Mary?

What's the difference in meaning between the above two sentences?

1. Do you know Mary? Are you friends with Mary? Are you in love with Mary? Do you date Mary regularly? Do you and Mary participate in a lot of activities together?

2. Do you h

Intriguing information, thank you.

So if I hear something like this: "What's your relation with her?" (I believe this is liget, and heard it asked somewhere before), do I assume a sexual nature is being asked? one-night stand, exclusive, open relation..ect. Is that what's being asked?

Thanks in advance

No, Raen. 'Have relations' is not the same as 'relation is'. The speaker is asking perhaps about blood relation ('I'm her cousin') or social relation ('I'm her aroma therapist').

Thanks for the clarification
