You've never known love until you've kissed in the pouring rain. I've come to believe this is a fact of life after watching one too many movies written by Nicholas Sparks (e.g., "The Notebook" and "Nights in Rodanthe"). Other facts include: You should never ever stop dieting, even after you hit 35, in case you run into old boyfriends, which is bound to happen; and old boyfriends remain handsome forever — they never grow old or put on weight.
