Aziz Ansari was crushing on a girl we’ll call Tanya. As Ansari tells it in Modern Romance, his new book on love in the time of the smartphone, the pair hit it off at a mutual friend’s birthday party back in 2012. He invited her over to his place for a cocktail, and they spent the evening listening to Beach House and making out. A couple of days later, Ansari painstakingly crafted a follow-up text inviting Tanya to Beach House’s next show. It was “a nice, firm ask with a little inside joke thrown in,” Ansari notes. “I was pretty confident.” Soon, those little iPhone dots appeared below the message, “the smartphone equivalent of the slow trip up to the top of a roller coaster.” Tanya was writing back! And then she wasn’t. The dots vanished. Minutes passed. Then hours.
