I'm a hopeless romantic with a backpack and a thirst for stories. For me, a perfect date involves getting wonderfully lost in a conversation that feels as rich and complex as a finely crafted latte. Tell me what makes your heart beat faster. The tension of a first touch, the warmth of a shared laugh in a crowded place, and soulful, uninterrupted eye contact. Boring routines, uninspired dates, and people who play it too safe.
