People will do all kinds of things in their quest for love and companionship, including using a billboard to advertise themselves. Itβs an unexpected tactic thatΒ Al GilbertiΒ is using because heβs tired of being single and heβs willing to spend $400 a week on the roadside sign.
The 70-year-oldβs 20-foot billboard in Sweetwater, Texas, reads, βLonely Male Can Relocate Sweetwater. Seeks Female Marriage Minded, Enjoys Karaoke.β It also includes a photo of Al and he says itβs already getting attention, heβs received more than 400 phone calls and 50 emails in the last two weeks. While the single guy says most of the calls have been from those interested in his money, heβs not losing hope that heβll find βMiss Rightβ soon.
Al says heβd be willing to move anywhere in the country for the right lady, and heβd even go as far as the U.K. to be with the love of his life. He says heβs a good listener, open-minded, in good shape and has a retirement income, plus, he knows what he wants in a partner. βI just want someone loyal, I want someone honest about themselves and someone sincere, thatβs going to be coming into something they really want to be in,β Gilberti explains. βOf course, Iβm somewhat looking for fame with the billboard but I also want to meet the right person.β
