Yes, "dating" means "in a relationship". You can say "A is dating B", and that means "A is in a relationship with B". Keep in mind, the term "dating" implies a new a casual relationship. "In a relationship" implies a stronger relationship. Another way to say "dating" or "in a relationship" is "seeing each other". You can say "A and B are seeing each other".
