  From the New York Times, I'm Anna Martin.

• 00:45

  This is modern love.

• 00:47

  Are you ready to go?

• 00:48

  I'm ready to go.

• 00:49

  Let's do it.

  Today I'm talking to my colleague, Eli Tan.

• 00:53

  Thanks for having me on.

• 00:54

  Eli is a reporter at the Times.

• 00:56

  He's 26.

• 00:57

  He lives in San Fr.

• 00:58

  And he's single.

• 00:59

• 01:05

  And also, just like every other single person I know, Eli thinks the dating apps are awful.

• 01:10

  He told me every conversation he has feels exactly the same, honestly.

• 01:15

• 01:29

  It's kind of this weird, like, performative interaction that you do just to get to the next step.

• 01:37

  Do you feel sort of trapped by these apps?

• 01:41

  Like, do you feel like it's the only way that you can meet people?
