Getting to know you

This mix is all about making the right impression on someone you might... well, want to see more often. The songs don't imply too much feeling through titles or lyrics (so your target won't be intimidated or scared), but there is a great enough range of artists and styles to evoke a sense that you have significantly broad tastes, which themselves are interesting. Moreover, the flow of the mix draws would-be listeners in from the beginning, and allows the music to build and relax several times over each side. Give it as a gift, bring it to a "study session," do whatever you must to make yourself look appealing.
