"My love test is about character. I'll bring a girl to a restaurant that's maybe not in the best area and the waitstaff may be a little rough around the edges. Throughout the evening, I see how my date reacts. Is she judgmental? Stuck-up? If she's accepting, then I know she is the kind of woman I want to be with. A nonjudgmental person who looks upon everyone as equals is one heck of a fine woman in my book."
