Valentine’s Day may be in the rearview backup camera, but cuffing season is still in full swing. Do you also sit around listening to love songs, pretending your crush is listening to them thinking about you? We all do, and so do guys. A great group of my guy friends lives across the street from me and, true to character, I spontaneously Facetimed them at 11 pm demanding a list of their favorite love songs. They did NOT disappoint.
