A 28-year-old man in Philadelphia is taking an alternative approach when it comes to finding the love of his life.
Dave Cline bought a billboard.
The billboard reads, "Dave is Single! Want to go on a DATE with DAVE? Message him at: Date_Dave_Philly," which is his Instagram handle.
The billboard also lists some "Dave Fast Facts" that include: can cook (well), has normal hobbies, owns a cat (pictured), bought a billboard.
The billboard is located at the intersection of South 34th Street and Wharton in Philadelphia's Gray's Ferry neighborhood, WCAU reported. And so far, it appears to be working. Cline told the TV station he already has a few dates lined up, he just hopes they're into him for him and not because he's the "billboard guy."
"I hope I don't turn out to be too boring. Like, I'm by no means a celebrity but I'm hoping they're not let down just because I'm - it's like my 15 minutes right now," he said. "I hope they like me for me and not for being on a billboard."
On his Instagram, Cline said he started the project because he "thought it would be really funny." But he is "actually 100% single" and would like to meet someone. His cat's name is Peach, by the way.
"If you live in Philadelphia (or anywhere with central AC) feel free to send me a message! My only request is that if you want to reach out, I’d appreciate it if you didn’t send me spam, threats, or anything weird! I have literally no idea if this will be popular at all or totally forgettable in 2 days, so just have fun and feel free to ask me out," he said.
Cline told WCAU the idea started a few years ago because he always wanted to be on a billboard.
"There wasn't originally a dating aspect to it. It was just going to be me. But that's almost a little too narcissistic just to be on there. So I figure if I at least make myself a part of the joke, I think people would just appreciate it a lot more," he said.
While most of the response has been positive, Cline has received some hateful messages. But if he finds love in the end, he says it's all worth it.
