Zoom dates
Pandemic romance meetings
Zoom dates are romantic meetups conducted over video call rather than in person.
The term emerged during the COVID-19 pandemic when in-person dating became difficult or impossible.
A Zoom date might be a first meeting between people who connected on a dating app, or a way for established couples to maintain connection across distance: We had three Zoom dates before we finally met in person.
