找对象 (zhǎoduìxiàng): to look for a romantic partner

对象 (duìxiàng) here doesn't mean 'object' — it specifically means a serious romantic partner, with marriage as the implicit goal. This is why parents pressuring adult children about 找对象 is a classic source of family tension; casual dating wouldn't get this label.

usage

Distinct from 谈恋爱 (tán liàn'ài, 'to date / be in a relationship') which can be casual. 找对象 always implies looking for a future spouse.
