A middle-aged US man has taken his search for love to new heights by shelling out “a few thousand dollars” on a giant billboard, overlooking a busy Chicago expressway, to advertise his quest for a perfect soulmate.
“I’m Gordon! Let’s have dinner!” says the billboard overlooking the Stevenson Express-way. It also displays his picture and the address of his own dating website, www.helpgordyfindlove.com [1].
Gordon Engle, a forty-something wealthy divorcee from Chicago, decided to spend money on the advertisement when he became disenchanted with online dating sites, New York Daily News reported.
Engle, a self-made entrepreneur, said he was looking for love in all the wrong places, so he decided to try something new. “You’ll spend several thousand on education, a quarter-million on a house, money on a car, but what’s your most important thing?” he asked.
“There’s not a lot of difference between a billboard and match.c om. I think (a billboard) shows a little more sincerity,” he told Chicago’s WGNtv.com.
