I remember watching this on television about twenty years ago or whenever You Got Mail came out, because I'd seen You Got Mail at the cinema (or was planning to).
As I recall, You Got Mail suffers in the same way, with Tom Hanks' character finding out before Meg Ryan's, and so gaining the advantage in their (potential) relationship. I think having the revelation staggered like that helps prolong the concept over a feature length running time... but of *course* it's the man finding out before the woman, isn't it?
I'm pretty sure I didn't pick up on that kind of thing as an overly romantic teenager, but it would definitely bug me now! Oh, and don't get me started on the Pina Colada song.
I do remember enjoying the film, though at the time I wasn't used to films of the period. Nice to hear that it would hold up even now that I'm older!
