XXXOOO, says the February 1989 spine line, and the issue is full of Valentine's spirit...but first we need to talk about Christina's article on unhoused teens in New York. THEN we can get to her 12 DEFINITIVE ways to tell if a guy loves you, as a treat. (What He Said flips the question by asking a panel of dudes how they can tell when a girl likes THEM.) There's also another short story by the great Elizabeth Mosier, technological innovations in braces and pregnancy tests, a trip to Chicago, a first-person account of OCD, and much much more. Let this episode give you a great big O (...the hug kind) from all of us!QUICK LINKS
