The sweet thing I did to win her back: these totally smitten studs reveal the lengths they went to for a second chance with the girl who got away. (Heart Copy).

"I had been with Christine for a couple of years when I made a big mistake. One night, I was out drinking with my buddies and ended up having sex with another girl. For the next week, it ate away at me until I confessed to Christine. She was furious and dumped me right then and there. Over and over again, I begged her to forgive me, but she refused.

A few weeks later, I realized that Carrie was the girl for me and I called her, but she was still hurt about being dumped. So one night, I showed up at her place and sang 'I Got You Babe' outside her window. Despite my terrible voice, Carrie loved my romantic gesture and agreed to take me back."--Paul, 23
