Millennial dating in 2018 is different than previous generations. Tinder is not about camp fires and texting is more common than a phone call. There's so much choice, if the going gets tough another person is a swipe away. 

Three young people in their 20s sat down with Zarqa Nawaz, host of CBC Radio's The Morning Edition, to talk about dating in Regina.

Samantha Topp, Tatenda Chikukwa and Berke McClintock are all currently single and share their experience. 

In part one, the trio discuss hook-ups and the means to get there, including apps and texting. 

"Having romantic interaction at your fingertips is again way more accessible than it used to be," said Topp.

In part two, the three talk romance and intimacy in the long term and why some millennials have a different view on marriage. 

"There's nothing to look forward to," said Chikukwa about the hook-up and move on culture.
