The options were provided in the Marvel Database Character Template... | MaritalStatus          = OPTIONS : Divorced, Engaged, Estranged, Married, Separated, Single, Widowed, Widower These fall short of officially recognised marital statuses, eg. "civil union", "domestic partnership," and maybe one or two others I can't recall right now.

Stark and Potts fall into a partnership where they share a home, and maybe the template should be updated to reflect those options. What they have is definitely not "dating" ie. living apart and seeing each other regularly.

"Dating" as a marital status makes no sense whatsoever.
