I needed therapy for my Tinder addiction - at one point I was chatting to 10 women at once

The first thing Ed Turner thought about when he woke up was swiping right to every single woman that appeared on his screen. Although he deleted Tinder and his catalogue of other dating apps during his first long-term relationship in 2021, which lasted a year, he could only think about the high a match brought him. Mr Turner, a quality manufacturer, first downloaded the app in 2015 when he was 18, even though he had no intention of going on any dates or finding a girlfriend. At his worst, he was talking to 10 women at once. Instead, his aim was to get matches to feel validated and know women found him attractive.
