Porto Subway Love offers second chance for Love at First Sight

Facebook has a group called Porto Subway Love, which is seeking to facilitate the reunion of people who have "exchanged romantic looks" on the Porto metro and want to see each other again.  The group, which was created just over a month ago, already has more than 250 members.

Daniel Micaelo-Rosa, the creator of the group, explains that falling in love (or just finding new friends) through exchanged glances on a subway is extremely common.  Hence this group aims to facilitate such meetings that arise from a glance, a smile or a gesture that happen daily on the metro.  But even though such an exchange can be quite common, the two parties rarely get off at the same station.

The metro meeting group is not a new idea, and Daniel actually got the idea after speaking with a couple from Berlin.  He found there are people who want to start a discussion to try and find someone on the metro who they could not take their eyes off, but did't actually approach them out of shyness.
