A Leeds lad who has never been out on a date has decided on a rather unconventional way to find love. Ed Chapman, 23, has taken out an advert on a giant billboard in Leeds, asking worthy women to give him a call.
Ed, from Leeds, has been single for his whole life and decided that the time has finally come to do something about it. However, he has had no luck with dating apps - so has tried something a little more drastic.
Putting his face on a giant billboard, which is situated on the M621 into Leeds, has proved to be just the ticket! Ed is now being inundated with messages, from women between the ages of 18 and 48, the Mirror reports.

Ed 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."
He is now busy arranging his first ever date, thanks to the billboard. It reads: "DATE ME", with an arrow pointing to a picture of Ed holding a bouquet of roses. People are then directed to an email address below, where they can send an enquiry.
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."
