' I had heard of other stories of people doing similar things so I thought `` why not '' , ' he said . ' I was not meeting anyone at bars and clubs . I had tried online and speed dating with mixed results and now I 'm bored of it . It 's also hard to meet people in general . Everyone is so busy with their face stuck to their phone . So I felt like I had to do something different . 'Basically I like to take chances and just give things a go . Hoping there 's a girl out there who has a similar outlook on life and also thinks `` why not '' . ' So far Dan has received 60 emails from interested women from his poster but not one who ticks all the boxes . 'Some write just out of curiosity . Others are not what I 'm asking for or are girls from interstate or overseas . Some write on behalf of friends . Some flake when it comes to meeting up , ' he said . 'Girls appear to be wary of the poster . It 's understandable but I also think of it as a bit of test . Is she willing to take a chance like me ? Those that do , stand out to me and am thankful for it . ' And this is a method Dan has tried before . 'Did it late last year . I met one girl and we dated twice but she only wanted to be friends after that . So I decided to try a second time this year with the poster , ' he said . Although he admits he wants to 'settle down ' , Dan is still undecided about marriage and kids . ' I 'm wanting a relationship so one step at a time , ' he said .
