partner search
The active search for a person for a romantic relationship, a life partnership, or a marriage.
Viele Singles nutzen Online-Plattformen für die Partnersuche.
Many singles use online platforms for their partner search.
This word is a simple compound made up of 'Partner' (partner) and 'Suche' (search). So it literally describes the process of looking for a partner.
Die Partnersuche kann manchmal frustrierend sein.
The search for a partner can sometimes be frustrating.
The most common way to use this noun is in the fixed expression 'auf Partnersuche sein' (to be looking for a partner). This construction is used for both romantic and business searches.
Seit seiner Scheidung ist er wieder auf Partnersuche.
Since his divorce, he is looking for a partner again.
Whether a romantic or a business search is meant becomes clear from the context. Romantic Partnersuche (partner search) (m01) involves topics like 'Liebe' (love), 'Beziehung' (relationship), or 'Dating' (dating). Business search (m02) involves 'Unternehmen' (company), 'Kooperation' (cooperation), or 'Markt' (market).
Sie hat ihren Mann über eine App für Partnersuche kennengelernt.

'das Dating' and 'die Partnersuche' both belong to the topic of romantic relationships. 'Partnersuche' is the general term for someone actively looking for a person for a relationship. 'Dating' describes especially the meetings or the process of getting to know someone, often through apps or dates. So you can say: Partnersuche is the goal or the larger framework; dating is a typical method within it. The words are easy to confuse because both often happen at the same time. If you are talking about the search in general, 'Partnersuche' is more natural. If it is about dates and getting to know people, 'Dating' fits better.
Nach der Trennung möchte Tom mit der Partnersuche erst einmal warten.
After the breakup, Tom wants to wait before starting his search for a partner.
Sie findet Dating spannend, weil sie gern neue Menschen trifft.
She finds dating exciting because she likes meeting new people.
