Youth, which is a transition period from children to adults, certainly makes young people many kinds of changes, both physical and psychological. This makes them understand more about the meaning and role of other people in their lives so that they begin to understand dating relationships. Young people who know the meaning and role of a girlfriend certainly cannot be separated from various factors both within themselves and factors from their living environment such as peers and technological advances. Increasingly sophisticated technology makes meeting other people easier. Many young people make new friends and even girlfriends from social media without meeting them first. Online dating social media is a modern technology product that facilitates young people to meet other people without meeting face to face. The use of online dating social media by young people is increasing in line with the emergence of the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020 to 2022. In this study, researchers tried to see how the practice of using online social media during the Covid-19 pandemic was carried out using qualitative research methods and a descriptive approach. Then the theories used in this research are functional structural theory from Emile Durkheim and symbolic capital theory from Pierre Bourdieu. With this theory, researchers see the reality of the use of online social media by young people in meeting interlocutors in everyday life during the Covid-1 pandemic. Technological advances create risks for modern society, such as weakening the active participation of young people in society because they prefer to interact with other people through social media, online dating via smartphones.
