11. Modern Dating Is… About Having Fun

“To me modern dating is just having someone to go out with and have fun with. ‘Dating’ doesn’t mean relationship, which i think is a new compared to other generations. My mom doesn’t understand this for sure. It means meeting people in all ways possible, the apps, friends, bars, there isn’t one way, and I think that’s a good thing.” -Jeremy, 28

12. Modern Dating Is…Having Too Many Doors Open

“It seems like no one is ever enough because there is always someone else waiting in the wings, especially in a city like New York. Someone taller, someone thinner, someone richer, someone smarter. To meet someone you click with and like doesn’t seem to be enough anymore because there is always more. Modern dating, as Aziz Ansari put it is having 1,000 doors to open instead of just a couple.” -Alexandra, 28

13. Modern Dating Is… Delaying Marriage

“I really think modern dating is delaying the marrying age even more. While I’m glad I didn’t marry my college boyfriend at 22, it’s also hard for me to believe that as an attractive, successful, confident, kind and outgoing woman in my late 20s, I still end up meeting guys who aren’t at all interested in being exclusive, much less having something long-term. It makes me worry about marriage going extinct!” -Nikki, 27

14. Modern Dating… Lacks Creativity

“But, really – how many times can one person grab drinks at happy hour after work? Can’t we do anything – something! – other than that? Sure, some people suggest more interesting dates, but they are few and far between.” -Patty, 34

15. Modern Dating Is… Going to Hit A Bust

“Just like any other major shift in history before, we’re going very quickly toward a bust, where everyone’s going to turn their back on the modern technology of dating and try to go back to the old-fashioned way. Or at least, that’s what I hope for!” -Jennifer, 30
