Amelia Dimoldenberg and Andrew Garfield’s long-running flirtationship highlights what’s missing from dating (and dating content) today.
It all began in November 2022, when the actor Andrew Garfield approached Amelia Dimoldenberg at British GQ’s Men of the Year party and uttered four words before she had a chance to speak: “I think you’re great.”
Ms. Dimoldenberg, one of the night’s red carpet hosts, was visibly shocked to learn that he was a fan of her YouTube series, “Chicken Shop Date,” in which an unflappable Ms. Dimoldenberg goes on first dates with celebrities in fried-chicken restaurants across London. She immediately asked him out, and the two giggled and blushed for most of the exchange.
Two months later, this time at the Golden Globes, they met again, and, grinning from ear to ear, immediately began flirting with each other. Fans swooned.
“You’re obsessed with me,” she said. He replied: “That’s what I’m saying, I’m scared what it could turn into.”
Fast forward to Oct. 18, when Mr. Garfield, who has been promoting his new film, “We Live in Time,” made his highly anticipated debut on the show, now in its 10th year. The pair proceeded to spend more than 11 minutes flirting. Hard.
“Are your spidey senses tingling right now?” Ms. Dimoldenberg teased. (Mr. Garfield starred as Spider-Man in the early 2010s.)
