A single father who has had no luck with online dating is taking a new approach: posting a personal ad on the side of his pick-up truck.
Robin Thomas, a father of three in Arkansas, has been spotted driving around town with a sign on this car door that reads: “Looking for a date? Would you date a single father?” The sign lists a phone number and only one requirement: “Ages 21 & Up.”

Yahoo Parenting could not reach Thomas for comment, however he told local news station KAIT8 that he’d had a tough time finding romance, so he figured he’d make his search more public. “I decided it can’t be any worse than what I was doing,” he said.
The retired cook’s perfect mate? Someone who is “normal and down-to-earth,” “at least 28,” and local. “When the kids are in school, that’s my free time,” the single dad said. “I’m not what you’d call a party person.”

Thomas told KAIT8 that he enjoys playing pool, bowling, barbecue, and going to the river with his kids.
His children, aged 6 to 11, don’t mind the traveling want ad. “They think it’s cute,” he said.
