Sa ngalan ng pag-ibig, nagpagawa ng billboard ang isang lalaki sa hangad na matagpuan ang kanyang “the one.”
Para mabilis siyang ma-contact ng mga interesadong babae, inilagay niya ang kanyang social-media account for direct messaging.
Siya ay si Dave Kline, 28, isang data manager na residente ng West Philadelphia sa U.S.
Sa billboard, nakalagay ang malaking picture niya, at nakabalandra ang, “Dave is Single! Want to go on a DATE with DAVE?"
May ilang fast facts din na included para mas mapataas pa ang kanyang bentahe.
- Can cook (well)
- Has normal hobbies
- Owns a cat (pictured)
- Bought a Billboard
Si Dave ay nagbayad ng $1,000 (PHP57,000) para sa one-month run ng billboard.

DAVE ON HIS BILLBOAD
“It’s just supposed to be funny for the most part, but I’m not gonna lie that the added benefit is that girls are messaging me first now, which is great,” ani Dave sa interview ng 6abc Philadelphia.
Aniya, umaabot na raw sa 100 messages kada araw ang natatanggap niya.
May mga interested girls na nag-respond sa kanyang advertisement.
“People are being very forward if they wanna date, which I appreciate,” sabi ni Dave.
Na-check na rin daw sa kanyang bucket list ang pangarap niyang makita ang sarili sa isang billboard.
Para sa mga interesado, sinabi ni Dave na mahilig siya sa food, at ang ideal date niya ay lunch in the park.
Sa kanyang July 25, 2024 post, ibinahagi ni Dave na katuwaan talaga ang ipinagawang billboard.
Pero happy naman siya na may mga sumeryoso sa panawagan dahil tunay naman siyang single.
Sabi niya sa Instagram post (published as is), “Hello! If you’re here, that means you either saw my billboard, or someone told you to message me something very mean!
“I started this project mostly because I thought it would be really funny, and I hope you do too.
“However, it may shock you to know, but the guy who bought a billboard as a funny hehe haha really is actually 100% single!
“If you live in Philadelphia (or anywhere with central AC [Atlantic City] ) 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.”
Recently, sa kanyang Instagram account, nire-repost ni Dave ang Instagram Stories ng mga tao na ipino-post ang kanyang billboard para matulungan siyang makahanap ng date.
May recent IG post din siya at kinumpirmang nakakadalawang dates na siya, pero nananatili pa rin siyang single.
