By Amy Andersen, Founder and CEO of Linx Dating

What does it say about modern dating when the people who built dating apps choose a matchmaker for their own personal lives?

It’s a question I discussed with Rikki Schlott for her recent New York Post article on the growing departure from dating apps and the renewed interest in meeting through real-life experiences and personal introductions.

Over the past three years, I’ve noticed a significant exodus from the apps, including among the very people who helped create them. As I shared in the piece:

“The machine professionally dominates their lives, yet when it comes to the intricacies of their personal lives, they’re choosing the human.”

That choice speaks to something important. Finding a partner involves deeply personal considerations: your history, your readiness for a relationship, the life you lead, and the future you want to share. Understanding those nuances takes conversation, trust, and thoughtful attention.

At Linx Dating, those conversations are central to our work. An introduction begins with understanding the person behind the search. The guidance surrounding it helps clients approach dating with greater clarity and give a promising connection room to develop.

The article also explores how dating apps are turning toward in-person events and group experiences. There is something telling about that shift. The opportunity to experience someone’s presence, humor, and warmth remains an essential part of discovering chemistry.

Thank you to Rikki Schlott and the New York Post for including my perspective on this changing chapter in dating.
