 * ...What does this mean, exactly?
 * Is this supposed to be something where an adolescent girl has a purely online 'relationship' (for instance, via an instant messenger program, IRC, etc.) that is largely an attempt at getting one-sided emotional support during turbulent years?
 * Is this supposed to be something where an adolescent girl genuinely has a relationship (as much as actually possible given the circumstances) with someone her age who she met online, and does eventually intend to actually meet this person offline at some undefined point in the future?
 * Again, what exactly does this mean? The definition does not make it clear at all.
 * If this passes RfV, there ought to be a Tea room discussion essentially immediately afterwards so that the actual definition can be made clear. Tharthan (talk) 06:08, 9 September 2020 (UTC)
 * The citations will inform us about the meaning. The current definition is the same as on Urban Dictionary.  But boifriend has also been used as a compound of one of the other senses of, not a cute spelling of boy.  That meaning, if citable, would not be consistent with the current definition.

 * e-boyfriend is given as an alt form. If that's true, then we should make e-boyfriend the main entry, and this evidently nonstandard spelling can be made the alternative. Equinox ◑ 18:25, 10 September 2020 (UTC)

RFV-failed. It may be possible to cite, if someone wants to add that as an entry. Kiwima (talk) 20:41, 29 October 2020 (UTC)
