Can be either:
1). A relationship that develops online, with no face-to-face element and/or no plans for ever meeting up in the real world or consummating the relationship physically with intercourse.
2). Using online sites and services to find someone to eDate, whom you have no intention of ever meeting in real life.
Guy 1: That girl has a different guy in a video call, every night. Always eDating someone different, every time I look! I wonder if she'll ever find her "Mr. Right" by eDating random dudes, online...
Guy 2: Bro, it's eDating. Let's hope that Mr. Right is out having drinks on the weekend, rather than picking up eGirls on some eDating server on Discord.
Guy 1: I guess I ain't Mr. Right...
Guy 2: Did you just figure that out, genius?
Edating is the practice of dating someone over the internet. It is often done by queer teens, as their parents are too shitty to let them date people they know irl
When two nerds fall in love but are too far apart to really date, they edate. This may contain, but is not limited to, sweet talk via IM, skype calls, cybering, nude webcamming, etc.
