This Valentine’s Day, we’re sharing the love. We want to hear about every kind of relationship, your meet cute stories, the advice you got from a parent, or where you’ve learned to love yourself... we love love in all its forms. (But do keep it PG, please.)

We’ll go first. If you’ve been looking for love in all the wrong places, try visiting Optimist Park. Nearly five years ago, City Editor Maria met her wife at Optimist Hall for their first date. After hours of conversation and laughs, they ended the night with a brew at Heist Brewery and have been inseparable ever since.

Do you have a similar story? Fill out this form by Wednesday, Feb. 12 for a chance to be featured in an upcoming article. We can’t wait to hear your stories.
