Man who almost gave up on dating apps after 212 dates finds love after one last swipe

Online dating never went “right” for journalist Luke Chilton. In fact, all 212 dates he went on in nearly 10 years of flicking his thumb across his phone screen turned out to be a total swipeout.

It was only when he wrote a murder mystery about online dating to cure his addiction to apps like Tinder that 43-year-old Luke finally met The One... ironically with one last swipe.

Ever been stuck on a bad date, looking at your watch? Wondering if there’s any way you can escape through the bathroom window?
