This man is using billboards to find a wife...
He's certainly being creative in his quest for love...
We have seen some 'out-of-this-world' things before when it comes to people searching for love, but this has got to be the most outrageous. Although this is also an act that can be considered bold, daring, confident, creative, open-minded, and humourous.
A bachelor is using billboards in London and Birmingham to search for his future bride...
"Muhammad Malik, 29, is alerting prospective partners to his availability with tongue-and-cheek messages in his quest for a wife. They read: 'Save me from an arranged marriage.'." (BBC)

He admitted to trying out dating apps and dating events, but these left him feeling "awkward". So after a friend of his suggested he advertise himself, he thought what better way than with a billboard?!

Mr Malik said his ideal partner would share his Muslim faith and be able to "keep up with the bants" with his family." (BBC)
The only thing we can say is, we wish him all the best...
What an amazing story to tell his children one day.
