"My ex had treated me really badly throughout our six-month relationship, so when I finally ended things, I just wanted to have fun. I was out with my friends one night when I met Julian. He was sexy and funny, the perfect rebound fling. After an unbelievable night together, I didn't think I'd hear from him again. Over the next few weeks, though, he'd call here and there, and we'd meet at his place during our lunch hour. One afternoon, I mentioned to Julian that I had a date that night.

One night, we were studying together at the library when he took my notebook and wrote 'I think I'm falling for you.' I grabbed his hand and pulled him behind the stacks of books, where we had our first 'couple' kiss. We've been together ever since."--Shana, 25

"I had just gotten out of a three-year relationship when I met Justin at our company softball game. We were totally flirting, so we went back to his place afterward and had a wild sex session. The next day, I told him that I wasn't looking for anything serious. A few days later, we saw a movie together--as friends--and we also went out for drinks a few times. A month later, Justin went on a business trip. For some reason, I was ...
