Glenwood Springs filmmaker examines Internet dating
I was thrown into the dating scene for the first time in two decades. And all of my single friends moaned and groaned about the dating apps, and told me horror stories about how awful the process is, and how much I would hate it. So once again, I put on my social anthropology hat, and dove in headfirst. Eighteen months ago, I met the love of my life on Bumble.
As my friends complained of feeling stuck in this world, I realized there is a huge opportunity to help women and men become the best version of themselves while navigating this very perplexing and intimidating landscape. So Love, Amy was born—a high-level, full-service dating concierge service.

Erika Christakis, a lecturer at the Yale Child Study Center, is a former co-master at one of the student residence halls at Harvard. She says that during her time there, students would repeatedly tell her that they didn’t have time for relationships—a sentiment that was starkly different from her own college experience. It was considered part of being a newly adult person that you would try to get to know people in a more intimate way.
Christakis thinks it’s because college students these days are too focused on resume-building and career preparation. They’re indoctrinated into the cult of extracurricular activities in middle and high school, and the involvement obsession continues throughout college almost as if by inertia. Rachel Greenwald, an author and dating coach, thinks it’s because most college “relationships” now occur within the context of a brief sexual encounter, or “hookup,” as the youth say.
A recent study by the American Psychological Association found that between 60 and 80 percent of North American college students have had a hookup, even though 63 percent of college men and 83 percent of college women said they would prefer a traditional relationship. Lori Gottlieb, an Atlantic contributor, author, and psychologist, thinks it’s because Millennials have been so coddled by their parents and teachers that they are now unable to accept others’ opinions and realities.
