A man who rented a billboard in his search for love has landed himself a date for Valentine's Day.
Mark Rofe paid £425 to advertise himself on Fairfield Street in Manchester city centre after failing to find love on Tinder.
The billboard encouraged fellow singletons to apply to go on a date with Mark.
"Single? Date Mark. This could be the sign you've been waiting for," the billboard read.
The response was enormous.
The 30-year-old received more than 2,300 applications in two weeks.
After sifting through the applications, Mark, from Sheffield, has a date lined up for Valentine's Day.
Writing on Twitter, he said: "It feels odd sharing my love life, but since people keep asking.
"I do have my first date arranged for Valentine's Day."

Mark previously told the Manchester Evening News he hired the billboard as all of his friends were settling down.
He said: "I have not been on any dates for a while.
"Not many people swipe right on Tinder. I've been struggling to find a match.
"All of my friends are married or in long term relationships.
"I thought 'what could I do to stand out?' If everyone is online, maybe I could take things offline."
Mark, who works in marketing, describes himself as 'extremely handsome and modest' in his website biography.
He even has a 'facts and stats' section, in which he states he has kissed 'over three girls'.
The bachelor adds that he has 'two friends'.
