Hearing Give a Little Bit -- Goo Goo Dolls
The Sun newspaper in the UK offers the Six Steps to Get a Lover, as determined by psychologists here in the States. What this suggests is that if you feed Hershey's Special Dark to your intended while staring into their eyes, arms relaxed at your side as you ride The Cyclone rollercoaster, cracking jokes as Richard Marx's "Hold On To The Night" blares over the 'coaster PA system, they will be yours forever. Or you'll be covered in barf, which is the usual reaction to simultaneous jolts of dark chocolate, rollercoasters, and Richard Marx. But either way, you'll have a memorable evening, won't you?

  Ha! That is so true! I just talked about arousal in class with roller coasters! I like light chocolate! :-) Chocolate covered Strawberries! YUM! Richard Marx...I can think of others who would be better! But basically the idea is there! :-)

  Bonus Comment... On my first date with my husband, I threw up on him after a rollercoaster ride. I also met him by falling off a seawall, but John hasn't covered that topic yet.

  That only works in a select few cases. Generally, if Richard Marx is your make-out moodsetter... you're bringing home a gay cowboy.
