Joe Jonas sent a hot dog to a girl he wanted to ask out.

The Jonas Brothers singer - who allegedly dumped country music singer Taylor Swift during a 27-second phone call - sent the snack and a cola to a blonde beauty he spotted in the crowd at the recent LA Lakers vs. Phoenix Suns basketball game in the hope of attracting her attention.

A source revealed: "The girl was totally surprised to find out her snack was courtesy of Joe Jonas."

The lady in question then wrote her name and phone number on a napkin and then asked the waiter to give it to the 20-year-old 'It's About Time' hitmaker.

The insider joked to National Enquirer magazine: "I hope he got tipped well for playing matchmaker!"

Joe has been single since splitting from actress Demi Lovato last month.

Despite instigating the split, Joe has pledged to stay close to the Disney star.

He said: "Demi and I knew going into our romantic relationship that it may not be an easy one. I realise over the time we have shared together that I feel I care more about our friendship right now.

"It was my choice to break-up, but I love her as a friend. She's been there for me when I needed her. I will continue to be her friend and be there for her."
