How would you describe your perfect date?

Someone who would cook for me or take me to a nice dinner. Soft music. Wine. If we go out to eat, [the restaurant should be] a place that's cozy, where people are friendly. I'd prefer individually-owned as opposed to chain restaurants. And to me, that says a lot about the person.
