**Biggest date fear:** Silence

I love it when my date is invested, opens the door, asks questions, looks me in the eyes, compliments me, smiles, laughs, holds my hand.

I hate it when my date looks at his phone the whole time, is absent mentally, is too handsy (at first), eats less than me, is rude to other people.

**What is the most outrageous thing you've ever done?**
I had to be a pirate watcher from midnight to 4am in the Red Sea on my last ship. (Yes, you read that correct...actual pirates, not Captain Hook.)

**Who is your favorite actor?**
Rachel McAdams -- she's brilliant while being adorable at the same time. Perfect balance.

**What's the most romantic present you have ever received?**
A handpicked flower from his walk to pick me up. Something about a man twirling a flower in his fingers...so sweet and thoughtful.

**What does being married mean to you?**
Two souls growing independently and intertwined at the same time. Unconditional love, trust, companionship and compassion.
