This is WILD.
On Sunday the 28th of September 2025, I was scrolling through social media and came across one of those random articles that news outlets post. Now I was not following this particular news page but there it was on my timeline.
An article coming from California, and more specifically the San Francisco Bay area about a woman who was looking for love.
The thumbnail image to the URL caught my attention as it looked like the woman from the article was someone that I once knew a long time ago. So when I clicked the link, and I read the article, I was stunned and surprised that it was in fact the person that I thought it was!!
Let me summarize the story that started to go viral beginning with TikTok (from what I learned) and I will include my own story about this.
"Lisa" is a woman who lives in the Bay area, and she is looking for love. She is very much so marriage-minded and either she got stuck or has become very frustrated with the dating apps out there in the world, or maybe both. Lisa now has used a most unconventional method of putting herself out there to look for a future husband, by buying up billboards along the California freeway.
Yep, those big giant signs you see while driving she has now gone and bought up some of those to promote a website that she created in hopes of finding her future husband.
The website contains an application where men can fill it out hoping to be a match, so to speak.
Lisa had been in a long-term serious relationship with a man but tragically he passed away from complications of an illness in 2023.
Now recently her story of her billboards is capturing the attention of a lot of people, and she has gone viral. A lot of people have come out with negative commentary and opinions, but it appears that Lisa is not bothered by them, in fact it sounds like she was anticipating it.
Also her website has a few things that is mentioned that she is looking for in a man. Some of those things are not negotiable for her. If anyone out there wants to take a chance, they should pay attention to those things that she has listed.
Now let me you tell you my story about how I know who Lisa is.
I met Lisa on the Internet in early 2011. She has her own YouTube channel and eventually I would find her on social media where it would come to be that Lisa and I shared a common interest in music. At the time, I was finding a lot of people with the same interest and was continuing correspondence with them via social media. If I had to guess, there was probably at least ten of us who fit inside that circle and I was friends with all of them on Facebook, including Lisa.
Lisa and I did communicate with each other frequently and often at the time...almost every day it seemed. And as time went on, she and I would get to know each other on a personal level and not just talk about the things in which we had in common.
I never met Lisa in person, although some of the other people in our Facebook social circles did have the opportunity. I never did. She was in California, and I was in Texas. I felt that was very unfortunate to be honest.
Even then I knew that Lisa was looking for a husband. She wanted to get married, have kids, the whole thing.. just like so many other women. I just knew that I never would fit inside all of the boxes that she had when it came to what she was looking for.
During the time that I was communicating with Lisa, I would hear her talk about how she was dating certain men that she met, but those relationships fizzled out pretty quickly. I am sure that just added to her frustration. Eventually Lisa would find a man that she was interested in, and I on the other side of things actually disagreed with her decision.
Of course, it was not up to me in who she was dating. But this one time I felt that things were just going to end up in disaster yet again for her because of her recent break ups and I ended up telling her this, believing that I was just being honest with her with sharing my opinion and it was an opinion that she definitely did not agree with.
Looking back at it now, there's a good chance that Lisa probably thought that was I was coming across to her as some jealous idiot and thus that was why I was telling her that I didn't think it was a good idea.
So she did what anyone else would do, and she separated herself from me by removing me from her social media pages. I KNEW at the time that I was telling her something that she did not want to hear, and I thought that if I laid low for a few days, then she and I could go back to just communicating online like we had for a long time at that point. After about a week of not hearing from Lisa, I went to look for her on social media only to find that I had been blocked. I accepted the consequences of my own actions when it came to this, and we affectively had stopped talking to each other, we had been talking from 2011 until 2014.
The last I had heard was around 2015 when someone in that social media circle had confirmed that Lisa was dating that man that I thought was a bad idea, and I was surprised to find out that they were still going strong.
I was wrong about it; I can admit it.
I was wrong in thinking that they were not going to last, and I was also wrong in doing what I did which was express that dissenting opinion to her face.
Over the next decade the people that were in that social media circle all but disappeared with the exception of one or two people who remain connected on social media to this day; however, I do not communicate with them much at all. It is very hit and miss with them as everyone kind of moved on, did different things with their lives and what not.
It was quite a shock that the article even was on my timeline to begin with. Let alone having this viral story being about someone that I used to talk with a lot so very long ago.
I reached out to a couple of people that I knew also was in correspondence with Lisa and asked if they had heard her story about looking for love by way of using billboards along the freeway, and they had. And I was even told that the man that she was in a long-term relationship with for a number of years was actually the SAME MAN that I expressed the opposing opinion about. I would like to let Lisa know that I apologize to her about that, but I don't think that the opportunity is going to present itself.
I thought about going to the website and filling out the application. Not to throw my hat into the ring for her consideration but more of a move to let her know that I see her and that I know about her plans and ideas of trying to find a husband but doing it that way is just wasting my time and wasting her time as well. It is not like she is going to respond back to me. That application is for those who want a chance at dating Lisa.
I mean after all, she shot her shot and me going in there just to tell her that she is seen does not make sense.
I do not feel the need to add on to the pile of people who are going to fil out that application just to be a troll.
A real wild story, don't you think? I KNOW of someone who went VIRAL on the Internet!!! It just blows my mind.
I do hope that Lisa eventually finds what she is looking for. I honestly do! Whether it be from someone finding one of her billboards on the California freeway or through some other way. Whatever it is she is looking for, I hope she finds it in such a great and grand fashion. Whatever makes her happy, ya know?!?
It has been over a decade since I have corresponded with her. I never thought that she would pop up like that. But here we are.
And wherever you are in the world: GOOD LUCK, LISA!!!!
