Dating in this day and age can be a nightmare, people are so intertwined with social media that it’s hard for them to see what’s right in front of them. One man got so sick of the ridiculous dating scene, he made a billboard of himself looking for date applicants. The crazy thing, over 2,000 people have actually applied for a date with the billboard bachelor so far.

30-year-old, Mark Rofe, was having trouble finding a girlfriend. So he paid $552 to have a clever billboard made in hopes of finding a date

When Mark had the 10′ by 20′ billboard made, he had no idea the reaction he’d get but definitely didn’t expect this. Mark is from Sheffield, but the billboard is located in Manchester, UK, one of England’s largest city’s.

People from all over Manchester and the surrounding areas, begin blowing up the bachelor with applications. According to Fox News, 120 hopefuls contacted Mark in just the first hour! Granted, half of them were men but he was flattered none the less.

“Single? Date Mark. This could be the sign you’ve been waiting for.” Reads the billboard.

Mark, even created a website for the potential dates to get to know him a little better

On the website datingmark.co.uk, Mark keeps it humorous all while letting people know he’s dead serious. He gives people his height(6′), shoe size(10), number of friends he has(2), and his hometown(Sheffield). He also hysterically adds the length of his index finger(6.82cm), and the number of girls he kissed(over 3).

“I’m Mark, an extremely handsome and modest 30-year-old living in Sheffield. I work in marketing, and if you’re reading this, then I must be pretty ok at it.

You’re probably here because you’re interested in dating me (thank you, I’m flattered), or you’re just wondering wtf this website is about.

I bought a billboard in Manchester and made this website because I’m single, all my friends are getting married, and I’m struggling to get a date.” Mark wrote on his website.
