Lovestruck is Like Foursquare for Dating Your Way Around the World

May 18, 2010 at 10:45 AM | by | Comments (0)

Are you our friend on Foursquare yet? Because you totally should be. But if you're one of the naysayers who doesn't quite understand Foursquare or other location-based social networking, then perhaps all you need is to try using it to jumpstart your love life. And there's a new app that wants to do just that: Lovestruck.

Lovestruck is basically a dating website, but perfect for single-and-looking travelers in that you can list yourself (and see others around you who are up for it) as available for lunch and/or available for drinks later. It's basically like the dating site version of Foursquare, except that it sadly lacks badges, unless you count hook-ups as badges.

Make your libido location-based, after the jump

All you have to do is create your profile, allow your smartphone to locate you, and then go ahead and browse hotties in your vicinity—so long as that vicinity is London, Birmingham, Manchester, Leeds, Liverpool, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Dublin, Hong Kong, Singapore, Tokyo, Sydney or New York. Those are currently the only cities with Lovestruck support.

If you're the type who's invigorated by the thought of having lunch with someone new in every city—romantic interest or not—then Lovestruck could be the perfect tool. That is, until Foursquare develops a dating layer of its own. Raise your hand if you have the "Player Please" badge!
