Single Man Rents Billboard to Find a Date, Promises He 'Has Normal Hobbies' and 'Can Cook (Well)’

Dave Kline, a 28-year-old data manager, paid over $1,000 to rent the billboard for a month — and says he already has a date in the works

A single 28-year-old man from West Philadelphia chose an unconventional route to try and find love: putting himself out there on a billboard.

Dave Kline, a data manager, paid over $1,000 to rent a billboard, which will hopefully result in him no longer being single, ABC affiliate WPVI reported.

The large colorful sign currently hangs in his neighborhood and features an image of a smiling Kline giving up a thumbs-up sign. The ad reads: "Want to go on a DATE with Dave?"

In a July 24 Instagram post, Kline 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 added. “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 ❤️.”
