Cute things to do when you first start dating:  trade iPods for a week (unless you are iPhone’d).  My friend and her new boo did that as part of their courting and it didn’t seem to scare either one away.
Indeed we all know one can learn a lot about a person from reviewing one’s music [...]

Then I lost him again and I got caught up in my real purpose of making this event actually happen.
An hour later, I spotted him.  The party was in full swing and he was very much trying to be part of it. I was in the middle of addressing an issue so noted his location [...]
