Comment:

This is disc 2 of a two-disc mix. There's a sort of long story behind it, but the short version is this: I had been conversing with this lovely boy who lives 13 states away (a mutual friend introduced us). The first time I met him was when I picked him up at the airport, and this mix was his arrival music.

Your context makes all the music seem twice as romantic as it already is. Beautiful! Also: "Only You" by Yaz!!!! There's something so simply perfect about that song. And not to demean anything here, since "Can't Hardly Wait" doesn't have a lot of respectable fans, but how incidental that "Only You" was playing at the end of that movie when the main couple finally unites at an airport. Hmmm. Even though that was probably unintentional, it makes your mix a lot more special to me personally. Anyway, I hope the story behind this is enjoying a happy ending :)
