e-dating
Digital romantic pursuit
E-dating is pursuing romantic connections through online platforms—dating apps, websites, or social media.
The term covers everything from casual swiping to serious relationship-seeking: She met her husband through e-dating.
Sometimes used for maintaining a romantic relationship conducted primarily online, especially in gaming communities: They've been e-dating for six months but haven't met in person.
