COEUR d'ALENE, Idaho -- It has been especially difficult to find love for Baron Brooks, a businessman living in Salt Lake City. But things are looking up.
His father decided the single 48-year-old could use a little help navigating the dating world.
Brooks was shocked to see his own picture in a full-page ad, seeking a wife.
"If I die now, I want it to be known by medical science, that one can die from embarrassment," he told Q13 News.
Brooks said he soon figured out his 78-year-old father had placed the $900 ad without his permission.
And over the weekend, he decided to allow his father to proceed with the interviews.
On Monday, Brooks told Q13 News This Morning nearly a dozen candidates came forward.
