Not really hard-core sci-fi or futuristic, but the story does reference 
a non-apocolyptic future. Most people would classify this as a 
chick-flick romantic comedy, which it is but I think this story actually 
captures your interest the whole way through.

  Plot Summary for
  *Happy Accidents (2000 <http://www.imdb.com/Sections/Years/2000>)*

Ruby Weaver has man trouble: she tries to fix them, so she's stuck 
herself with a string of losers. Her current lover, Sam Deed, seems 
different: he's sweet, tender, just in from Dubuque. But, as Ruby tells 
her therapist about Sam, in flashbacks we see someone not quite of this 
world. In fact, Sam informs Ruby that he's from the future, 2470 to be 
exact, traveling back in time to avoid prosecution for his sister's 
death, and to find Ruby, whose photo he saw back home. Ruby's sure he's 
delusional, but most of the time she wants to keep him - and maybe fix 
him. Although he seems sane, maybe Sam hasn't told her the real story: 
what's he up to, and who is Chrystie Delancey?
