A man who has never been on a date is ‘advertising’ himself on a motorway billboard in a bid to bag himself a girlfriend.
Ed Chapman, 23, from Leeds, West Yorks, has been single all his life and decided it was time to step outside of the box and use a different avenue in his bid to find love.
After having no luck with mainstream methods such as dating apps, Ed decided he wanted to promote himself on a giant billboard in Leeds, in hope of finally being able to go on his very first date.
Ed says he’s received an influx of messages from people between the ages of 18 and 48 and is now busy arranging his first ever date.
He said: “I had tried some dating apps, but it didn’t go well for me at all, so I decided I needed to try something different and thought having my own billboard would be a good way of meeting people.
"It’s really exciting and a sign there’s something positive to come. I’m obviously a little bit nervous to go on my first ever date, but it should be good.”
Ed, a content creator, said: “It’s something silly and I don’t like to take life too seriously, so I think using a billboard to find a girlfriend reflects that.
“I made the design of the billboard myself and took my own picture which was one of the hardest things. I went through multiple outfits and poses and made sure I got a haircut before taking the picture. The billboard is on the M621 on the way into Leeds and it’s much bigger than I expected.”
