"I was waiting to go in for a job interview and this gorgeous guy came to get me. The second our eyes met, my stomach started doing flip-flops. After introducing me to the head honcho, the hottie wished me luck and walked away. When the interview was over, I tried to find him by wandering the halls, but a woman came out of her office and asked if I was lost. Mortified, I said no and hurried for the lobby. Just as I was leaving, the receptionist called out to me. She handed me a note that read 'I couldn't let you walk out of here without at least trying. Call me sometime. Roger.' Rather than play it cool, I called him that night. I didn't get the job, but I did land the love of my life."--Alice, 24

"My best friend, Darcy, wanted to go bungee jumping together for her 21st birthday, but I was really scared. She wouldn't stop begging me, so I eventually said yes. On the big day, Darcy picked me up early from work, and we drove to the site. The longer we waited to take our turn, the more scared I got. I was so terrified that I ended up blacking out mid-jump.

Since then, we've spent every minute together and have even started talking about marriage. If it weren't for Darcy's crazy idea to go bungee jumping, I never would have met this great guy."--Elana, 21

"On the first truly warm day of spring, my friends and I went to the park to check out all the cute guys playing softball. I immediately spotted one I liked and walked closer to the diamond to get his attention. Right at that moment, a hall came flying out of nowhere and smacked me in the middle of the head. Not only was it painful, but everyone in the park was laughing at me too! As I headed back over to my friends, totally humiliated, a guy ran over to ask ...
