"Andy and I had been seeing" each other for a while, and we decided to move in together. Although I was excited to live with him, I was a little bummed to be leaving my roommates, Aimee and Shana, because we had been together since college. Instead of looking for another roommate, they decided to get a two-bedroom apartment. On the day we were leaving, their movers called and canceled because they were overbooked. The girls asked the landlord if they could stay in the apartment for a few days, but he refused. Before I had a chance to say anything, Andy called his buddies, and they all came over later that night to help Aimee and Shana move. The girls were totally grateful, and after that, they said they'd only date guys who were 'Andy-licious!'"--Kelsey, 27

"My friend Malina's boyfriend had broken up with her, and she was devastated. All she ever did was go to work and come home to watch TV every night. I tried to get her to come out dancing, which was one of her favorite things to do, but Malina kept saying she just wasn't ready. Around this time, I had started seeing Russell. He had met everyone in my clique except Malina, and he asked why. I told him that she was still upset over her breakup. One Saturday afternoon, Russell called and said to tell all my friends to be dressed and ready that night. Malina, of course, refused. Later, Russell came to my place in a limo, picked up my friends and me, and we went straight to Malina's apartment, where he dragged her out. He took us to dinner at a swanky new restaurant, and then afterward, we all went dancing at our favorite club, where he paid our cover and bought our drinks. He even made it out onto the dance floor himself. Malina had a blast, and my friends were touched that Russell had gone out of his way to cheer her up."--Christine, 26
