There has been a lot of speculation about the relationship Jane Austen had with Thomas Lefroy. Surviving letters of both of them (not to each other) indicate they were both rather smitten with each other. It seems, however, that they only saw each other during the course of two months, and quite probably always in company of other people, because social custom of the time prohibited their being alone together. This was when Jane Austen was just turning twenty. Lefroy went on to be the Lord Chief Justice of Ireland.

There is no record of Jane Austen and Tom Lefroy dating. They met in late 1795 or early 1796 and had a brief flirtation while Tom was visiting Hampshire, but there is no evidence to suggest that their relationship went beyond friendship.
