Lisa A. Phillips, a journalist and educator, finds herself advocating for the value of romantic love to her skeptical Gen Z students, who view it as a media-invented concept. Research indicates a significant decrease in romantic relationship experiences among young people; only 56% of Gen Z reported having been in a relationship during their teen years, a steep decline from previous generations. This growing aversion to romance reflects a broader trend of withdrawal from dating among younger adults, leading to a need for discussion about love's transformative potential beyond idealized portrayals.
