A fed-up California woman has launched a bold billboard campaign to be united with the love of her life after losing faith in dating apps and traditional methods.
Lisa Catalano, 41, has rented out a dozen digital billboards on highway 101 from Santa Clara to San Francisco to take potential suitors to her website.
There candidates can find a slew of comprehensive information about Lisa and what she’s looking for.
She told ABC7: ‘I’m looking for a husband, I’m looking for a committed relationship and hopefully the love of my life.’
At first, her website – marrylisa.com – started as a joke. Each time she would get frustrated with the dating scene, Lisa would work on refining the site.
She soon realized that advertising herself online in Silicon Valley wasn’t that crazy of an idea, giving visitors an opportunity to apply for themselves or for eligible friends.
She also realized that having a website wasn’t going to do her any good without some traffic, so she figured the best way to reach local guys was on their daily commute.
Her advertisements have been up since September 2.
On the website, Lisa goes into more detail about her experiences with dating and what led her to such extremes to find a match.
She says she focused on school and her career in her 20s. Now, she is self-employed, making content on the internet and selling vintage clothes.
During her 30s, Lisa was in a long-term relationship which led to an engagement.
Tragically, her terminally-ill fiancé passed away in 2023. After that she was unable to find another partner who was ready to settle down, get married, and have children.
On her website she wrote: ‘The dating apps aren’t going well at all. Lisa feels she’s reached the point where a drastic measure is in order – and that would be starting this website.’
One the site’s homepage her mission is clear: ‘Seeking the right man to start forever with.’
Lisa wants to be married with children in the next two or three years.
Not only does she advertise her eligibility online and on billboards, she even keeps flyers and business cards with her in case she sees an attractive bachelor in public.
Her search even recently went viral on her TikTok and now dozens of bachelors have applied to take Lisa out on a date.
As far as her future partner goes, Lisa wants someone between the ages of 35 and 45 who is ready to get married and have kids.
She enjoys an active, healthy lifestyle and hopes to end up with someone who enjoys the same. Lisa wants him to align with her on politics, religion, and values.
She won’t disclose how much the billboard cost her, but she’s hopeful that all of the effort will be worth it.
She said: ‘I’m real, this entire project is real, I am serious about finding the love of my life.
