With a light hand and the right brush, you could wear both of them, especially with your dark hair/fair skin. Gentle is a subdued cool plum and Pleasantry is a mid tone warm/hot pink. Because of the shimmer in them, they go on smoothly and not too intense, unless you want that.

I would go for Merrily, it's bright but can be toned down with plenty of blending. I'm afraid Love Thing is really suited better towards medium/darker skin tones, although it's a gorgeous color.

Really! I'm in Canada and whenever I order online it comes the next day or sometimes the day after! Never more than 2 days! Maybe its the area I live in? Or maybe my UPS guy isn't lazy ?

The two times Ive ordered offline its taken just under two business weeks... scary. So I just dont do it, we have a nice MAC freestanding store about 6 minute drive from my house, so thats a plus I guess. I'm always so shocked to hear that ya'll can order stuff and get it next day! amazing, Canada post sucks haha

That's good info for me, because those are the two I'm considering. Since they're pretty expensive, I'd like to cut costs where I can. Merrily is at the top of the list, so if one gets cut, it will be Love Thing.

Feeling and True Romantic are more softer and plumy, whereas Love Thing is more deeper and dirty burgundy with golden shimmer. NC25 is better with Medium/Natural And Shimmer in Mineralize Skinfinish (Duo) of the New View Collection. And Amy strongly recommends 181SE brush for powder or blushes. 
p.s. I'm so envy of those who could visit MAC in person.

Are you paying for next day delivery?
When I do the free delivery option that MAC has avaliable for some collections, it takes up to 7 business days usually.

(omg these smilies are so effing cute!!!)
Okay guys. I changed my mind about Dainty which is cool with me. I dont know which pink to get now? Can somebody help me? I am getting Love Thing and Merrily. But I want a pink and I doubt Dainty will show up on me. Someone please help me???
BTW, I think Love Thing and Merrily are SO coming back in the fall. Look at how many people are getting both of them for their unique-ness. yes my dears. Kinda makes me want to not get them and wait til fall, haha. But no, I'm buying them now haha
