So a months ago we were chatting about this local Orlando guy who decided to put up billboards to find Twwwwoooo Wwwwwuuuuuuuuuuuuuvvvvvv. Many of you objected to the guy's seeming sexism, control issues, and lack of musical taste, although we were all fairly happy about his choice of local chocolate companies.

I don't think any of us are surprised to hear that the whole billboard thing is not working out so well, according to a follow up in the Orlando Sentinel.

Of course, this depends upon how you define "success" - during this time, the guy has managed to go on 45 dates, again according to the Orlando Sentinel, which many men would consider a rousing success and I would consider utterly exhausting. I can't help noting, however, that both eHarmony and OkCupid - not to mention Craigslist - could probably have delivered the same if not better results at a considerably cheaper price, while making the guy look a little less creepy.

Ah, love:

So there's this local guy that has put up a billboard on a major highway to help him find true love. Which is all very nice. The billboard directs people to a website, where friends can recommend a woman for John. Also all very nice.

What's a little...um....controlling? Overplanned? On the webpage he outlines the first date, then the second date, then the third date, then the fourth date. (The fourth date I kinda like cause it involves a day spa and pampering. I'm all about day spas. But that is just me.)

You will notice the complete lack of input from the woman on what she might like to do.

On taking a closer look, I see that these planned dates are actually semi-advertisements for various Winter Park/north Orlando businesses, and that he's suggesting that restaurants and bars contact him to be listed as potential date locations, which is also all very nice, but might - just might - explain why this guy is using billboards to find true love.
