We're reminded when it comes to love you're not supposed to judge a book by its cover - but can you judge a man by his billboard?

Rylee carlson went to manchester, england to find out.

Nats....traffic shots few would bet the road to love, leads through a spot like this.

But for about 600 dollars, a british man thought it was worth the gamble.

I was struggling a little bit with the dating apps and thought i kinda wanna do something different to stand out.//as a joke, i just said at this rate, i'll have to put my face on a billboard..

30 year old mark rofe decided he had nothing to lose... the billboard sends potential matches to this website... letting them know he's 6 feet tall, has kissed more than 3 women, and not surprisingly - he works in advertising..

I just thought if i have these marketing skills than i may as well use it you know to enhance my love life.

You never know these days, anything could work..

Well it made us all read it.

Somebody might want to date mark!

You never know.

At last count - more than á2- thousandá somebodies had applied.

..from all around the globe.

Nats... matchmaker sarah louise ryan says a bold move is sometimes what it takes.

Mark having put himself out there quite physically and literally he's really seeing a return on that.

Now comes the hard part - searching through all those emails - hoping he finds the one.

I'm very optimistic now, i think if i don't find someone within that than maybe there is something wrong with me.

Mark hopes finding love is as easy as finding ad space.

Rylee carlson cbs news, manchester - england.

Mark has set up his first date from this experience.

The billboard bachelor went out on valentine's day for drinks.

This season of love focuses on partners.

But in california, the focus is on appreciation.

John blackstone has the story.

At the age of 104 major bill white remains every inch the marine he was in world war ii.

In the battle for iwo jima a grenade exploded beside him.

It proceed to blow the hell out of me he's seen combat&but he's never seen so many valentines.

You got to be kidding.

Everyday for weeks valentines cards and gifts have been arriving by the truckload at the oaks assisted living center &all addressed to major white.

Jb -- all of a sudden out of clear blue sky.

All hell breaks loose.

It started simply enough when staff at the oaks and major white's daughter mary made a small request on social media.

Mary: we were hoping, you know, one hundred four years old.

We get a hundred and four valentines.

Major white: the last account.

Somebody ever, ever gave me was one hundred forty thousand different pieces - a hundred forty thousand!

Now almost every surface at the assisted living center is covered with valentines.

They come from school children and veterans and families that know the sacrifice of service mary: both my father and father- in-law served in world war ii.

Sadly they are both gone&.

Mary and major white read as many as they can.

Mary and this is one of my favorite cards.

Its very short.

But it just says you've stolen the hearts of america perhaps never before has valentine's day brought one person more affection.

It's just been beyond my feeble powers of comprehension.
