"Well, you've accommodated her many times to see the chick flick," says Schaefer. "Maybe it's time that she accommodated you." Good luck with that.

When you're a dude, and a hot chick in the elevator sings along with the song you're listening to, and that's your favorite band, there's a connection. Then there's the Smiths' "Please Please Please Let Me Get What I Want," which he plays on his computer as she's passing and you can already see the yearning. And then...
