MATCH MADE IN... Is Online Dating Still a Taboo? Written and Photographed by Tatum McDonald

rances Eby, a twenty-one-year-old student at AUP, sits in a window-lined atrium on a Sunday afternoon telling me the story of how she met Stephen, her boyfriend of two months. The first time they met, she was in North Dakota visiting the university she plans to attend for grad school. Laughing, she says that they met on Tinder. She changed her location settings on the app before she got to school to check out the scene. They matched and hit it off talking about the places they’ve been and their mutual love of the Louvre. Now, they’re about 4,000 miles away from each other and in a relationship entirely facilitated by technology.
