BALLANTYNE, N.C. -- With Valentine's Day just a few days away, one Charlotte Bachelor is hitting the streets to find love.

  • Richard Joseph is back and looking for love
  • For Thanksgiving he offered his services as a for-hire boyfriend
  • He's now trying to find a date in time for Valentine's Day

We first introduced you to Richard Joseph, back in November, when he was offering his services, as a boyfriend-for-hire to help single ladies dodge questions from their families on Thanksgiving.

Now, he's turning the tables, trying to find a date just in time for Valentine's Day.

For the last few days, Joseph has been panhandling on corners around South Charlotte not for dollars, but for digits.

“You have to find someway to make yourself stand out and if that’s hiring yourself out for Thanksgiving dates or standing on the corner. You know, you’ve got to do what you’ve got to do,” Joseph said.

He says some local businesses have even reached out to help him. Sunday, a photographer has planned a photoshoot for him.

Wednesday, he says Grape and Agave Wine Bar in Charlotte is hosting a meet-and-greet night for ladies to come meet the bachelor in person.
