This Valentine’s Day, we’re making a map of places where our readers have made memories around Raleigh. We want to hear about every kind of relationship. Tell us about your meet cute stories, where you got advice 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 North Hills. Over two years ago, City Editor Cat met her boyfriend at Stir where they had their first date. They ended the night with bowling at Kings and have been inseparable ever since.

Fill out this form by Thursday, Feb. 9 for a chance to be featured on our interactive map. We can’t wait to hear your stories.
