I love a walk, I do love dinner, theater, films. It depends what number date. You know, if it\u2019s like date 100, then like Legos, although we Brits say it singular \u201cLego,\u201d and pizza. Some of my best dates have been Lego dates.\u201d<\/p>\n On the most important traits for a relationship<\/strong>: \u201cCommunication \u2014 and being clear. Transparency is absolutely utmost, utmost, utmost. And really supporting, really cheerleading and watching someone thrive, should be a real turn-on.\u201d<\/p>\n On deal-breakers<\/strong>: \u201cThe opposite of those. Bad communication, lack of transparency. Doesn\u2019t like Lego. Actually, I\u2019ll only be with somebody who can speak three languages. Yeah, and they\u2019ve got seven degrees and a doctorate.
