"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

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 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
