The combination of tenses?

Asked by Ticce (46points) July 15th, 2021

We have thought for a while that they were dating.

Do you find the sentence to be correct? Do you agree with my interpretation?
1) We started thinking and we still think that THEY were dating (sometime) in the past but not currently.
Some people say that it can mean this
2) We started thinking and we still think that THEY have been dating until now.

Is 2 possible and correct?
