There's always that "special someone" who doesn't even realize how you feel... or who you are. She could be anyone: the girl that you always see in Dewick on Monday afternoon, the one you walk behind from class to class all day, that one in your English class who just looks like she'd be so nice (and girls, feel free to change this to "guy" as appropriate). Yes, it's childish, and yes, you do it. You've never talked to her, she's never noticed you, and you don't even know her name (unless you're stalking her, that is), but you absolutely know that things would be great if you could just find some way to get your feelings across. What better way to proclaim your unrequited love and make her feel the same way than a persuasive mix tape? Avoid the most obvious of advances (U2's "All I Want Is You" is over the line) and use this list instead. Some of the songs are sweet and some are dejected, but together, both sides of this tape are about as subtle as a teddy bear with a red satin bow. How you get her to sit down and listen to it is up to you.
