Coworkers try to get colleague dates with billboard
Workers at a Michigan office set out to find love for their friend

GRAND TRAVERSE COUNTY, Mich. -- A Michigan man is getting a lot of help in the love department.

Matt Hill works for a lawn and garden company in Grand Traverse County.

His co-workers recently surprised him by putting his face and contact information on a billboard.

The 6-foot-tall, 25-year-old says he was pretty surprised by the gesture, but he's making the most of it.

So what should ladies know about Matt?

"Like going out, hangout out, two tracking, working on my truck," Hill says. "My favorite color is lime green. I don't really have a favorite food. Lately it's been peanut butter and jelly. I don't know, Chinese. I really like Chinese food."

Hill says his favorite movie "has probably gotta be 'The Hangover.'"

"I like a lot of chick flicks, perfect date is pretty much a bonfire out in the middle of the woods, at somebody's house, small party, something like that," Hill says.

Hill says he's taken dozens of calls, texts and emails from potential suitors.

He says he's not looking for just a fling, he's really hoping to find someone to settle down with.
