Have you been Lovestruck on the streets of London?
Find your special someone with our help and win a meal for two at ASK...
26 August 2009
ON THE Tube, in a coffee shop, crossing the road - love can strike anywhere in London.
And thelondonpaper receives scores of emails and texts every day from Londoners who think they may have spotted the love (or lust) of their lives, but who didn't stop to do anything about it!
But all is not lost because we're more than happy to play Cupid and publish our favourite paeans to lost love - which might just be salvageable!
Spotted a hottie on the Jubilee line? Drop us a text. Heart melted by the boy in the Tate? Send us an email. Madly in love with the girl who collected your glass last night? You know what to do.
We'll publish the best and if we help to hook you up you could even win a romantic meal for two courtesy of ASK Restaurants.
