The coronavirus pandemic has changed the world we knew beyond all recognition.
For many of us, the commute to work now consists of a walk to the kitchen table in our pyjamas, and we'll fiercely defend our right to partake in one form of outdoor exercise each day - despite never having even considered going for a jog previously.
So many aspects of life we once took for granted have been forced to adapt. And that includes dating.
Meeting potential matches had already successfully transitioned to a virtual world through dating apps, but now, with lockdown rules in place, so too must the dates themselves.
Happy hours have been replaced with video calls, as one hopeful revealed her FaceTime date had even transferred her £15 to buy a bottle of wine from the corner shop for the occasion.
With no opportunity to see one another until the lockdown is over, forming relationships using technology also means ending relationships using technology.
We've all heard the advice that you can't break up with someone by text, or even a phone call, and that it must be done in person - and at the moment, 'in person' might mean another video call.
Enter Zumping - a term coined by The Guardian to refer to the bizarre phenomenon of being dumped on Zoom.
And don't worry, there's ones for FaceTime and Houseparty too, known as Facetumped and Housepumped respectively.
It turns out it's not uncommon either, after writer Julia Moser tweeted : "Am i the first person who's been dumped via zoom?"
It racked up more than 63,000 likes as others chipped in to say they had been dumped similarly on Zoom and other video chat platforms like Skype.
It didn't go down well with her followers, although some did argue it was still better than a text messages. So there's that.
Another wisely advised: "I’ve given up dating during the pandemic. Better to wait until we can see people lie to our face."
