He said "I think we should see other people. Myself, I'm seeing 'since three less'"

yeah, that's what I'm familiar with as the verb as well. But normally when some asks for a kiss they don't say "Embrasse moi" They say "Donne moi un bec"

I don't think I've ever heard anyone use any other word for kiss (noun). Of course, that may just be colloquial Quebecois.
Well I was taking it in college. She was a native speaker, but I am sure she taught us more formally. We were taught to say Embrasse-moi for kiss me. Donne moi un bec makes sense too. Sort of like saying give me a peck?

I haven't had the chance to use my French in a long long time. Thanks.

Yeah, I was wondering if perhaps that was a type and meant to be 'since three months' which is the equivalent of 'for the past three months'

That should teach you; don't drink and translate

Exactly. And yes, in school you would have been taught a more formal French. There would also be variations based on where your teacher was from. Parisian French is very different. Although I did take French in school and had the pleasure of learning all the grammar etc., most of my knowledge of French is the spoken language. I'm not sure if I got all the spelling right, but I know what it's supposed to sound like

Not gonna happen tonight ... I am, oddly, enjoying the taste of this beer.

Scary.

She was Parisian. We talked a little about French in Canada, but not much. Madame Chamier. Lovely lovely woman.
