JANESVILLE, WI - A bachelor hopes his unique approach to dating will help him find his future partner.
Robert Siegfried, 43, said he's exhausted all other dating options.
"Dating sites just weren't working for me," he said. "Match, Tinder, just none of them were working."
He's turned to an electronic billboard along Milton Avenue in Janesville to find the love of his life. By calling the number he lists, he tells "local, honest women" to leave him a message.
“I like country music. The American flag for the USA. I’m a country boy at heart," Siegfried said while describing his photo on the billboard.
So far, Siegfried says he hasn't had much success from the billboard. Many people who reach out to him, he said, are not the person he's looking for.
"You'd be surprised at how many pictures I'm getting," Siegfried said. "It's crazy. It's just like, oh, man, next, next, next, next, next."
For those who've seen the billboard in the area, they've found the approach unique.
"Definitely better than Tinder and all the other dating apps," said Kenneth Valez. "Janesville has a lot of populous so I'm sure he'll get some hello's."
This "#1 Bachelor" hopes this sign brings him closer to the one -- and that she will take it as a true sign.
"Go big or go home. I mean you don't get any bigger than this," Siegfried said. "I hope people take it seriously. I hope people take it seriously. Don't be shy, call me."
Siegfried said the sign will likely be at more locations in Janesville in the coming days and weeks.
"I'm just looking for that special someone," he said.
Don’t ever get married. Just buy a house and give it to a woman that already hates you.
My first wife and I were married 47 years. She died in 2018.
I married again approaching 3 years ago. God blessed us both again.
Interesting story in the background. A misunderstanding in conversation lead to my life start over at 72 (now 75).
Yep. I was married before, but it took me until I was 50 to find True Love.
I was just minding my own business, doing my own thing, planning life alone from ‘divorce’ forward, wasn’t even looking when he showed up in my life again after a 20+ year absence. He was a family friend and had heard I was single again. He was widowed. Never looked at him twice as a ‘boyfriend’ in all those years, and he is 100% perfect for me.
It happens. I wouldn’t have believed it, but it happens. :)
