Best of Philly

2025 Romance

Dave Is Single

When the apps aren’t working and you’re tired of coming home alone after a night out, what is there to do? West Philly resident Dave Cline rented a billboard in Grays Ferry, added a photo, his Instagram handle, and some facts about himself — “Can cook (well)” and “Has normal hobbies” — and watched the dates roll in. More than 20 dates later, Cline thinks “dating is still kinda shitty even when you have a billboard.” Back to the apps!
