00:03 COMM: Not everyone's lucky in love, but this
man is determined to find the perfect and wealthy partner.
00:10 Robert: My name is Robert Darling and I'm
looking for a wealthy lady to be my wife.
00:16 COMM: For the past 12 years, 58 year old Robert
has traveled from his home in Bradley Beach, New Jersey, to New York City with his homemade
sign.
00:22 Robert: It just dawned on me one day many
years ago that I'd like to get married. I said, if I'm going to get married I'll try
to get a wealthy lady to help take care of me.
00:33 I go to New York City with my sign maybe once
or twice a week.
00:38 COMM: Robert believes opening up his heart
to the world has helped him cure his social anxiety issues.
00:43 Robert: I'm very secure of myself and I think
this helps.
00:47 COMM: But despite his relentless efforts,
Robert has had no serious enquiries so far.
00:51 Robert: It's just a matter of time, I'm very
patient. Great success is just around the corner. Sometimes women walk by and talk - wanna
know more about me and I can tell that they're interested.
01:04 COMM: Inevitably, Robert's unorthodox method
draws mixed reactions.

it. I wish him luck.
01:19 Joyce: Absolutely not, I would not call Robert.

01:25 COMM: And until Cupid's arrow strikes, Robert
will continue hitting the streets of New York in his quest to find the perfect parter.
01:32 Robert: Give it up? Never. I'm just warming
up, you know? Very, very shortly, I will have a wonderful wife.
01:42 I wish him a lot of luck. I wish he finds
somebody, if not a rich one, at least a lovely one.
