Single Pennsylvania man seeking dates with 'adorable' billboard

Article content

A single Pennsylvania man is putting himself out there in a big way to try to find love.

Dave Cline, 28, of Philadelphia paid more than $1,000 to rent a billboard in an attempt to find a woman in one month.

“Want to go on a date with Dave?” the billboard says alongside a photo of the long-haired man, his pet cat and Instagram handle.

Among the singleton’s “fast facts” are “can cook (well),” “has normal hobbies,” “owns a cat” and the obvious: “Bought a billboard.”

Cline told WPVI that the billboard, which went up on July 26, “was just supposed to be funny, for the most part.”

He had a date last week and has received hundreds of DMs.

“People are being very forward if they want a date, which I appreciate,” he told the outlet.

In a July 24 Instagram post, Cline confirmed that he is indeed single.

“It may shock you to know, but the guy who bought a billboard as a funny hehe haha really is actually 100% single!” he wrote.

“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 two days, so just have fun and feel free to ask me out.”

“This is the most clever idea! Best of luck to you, Dave!” one fan wrote, adding, “PS you’re a hit in the cat groups on FB right now.”

One woman called him “adorable,” while another appeared to pitch herself.

“Where you be hanging out Dave? You seem fun.”

Another commented: “Dave! I’m not single, your age, or even heterosexual … but came to say good luck! This is an awesome idea. And I wish I had your gorgeous hair!”
