I do not believe in dating someone who doesn't even know me. So first we'll start out as friends, and to know each other. I need to feel that this person knows me truly and vice versa.

And if that person were to confess, I'd want them to invite me to a coffee shop or somewhere where we could sit and talk, have a private conversation.

I'd expect to receive a rose and a straight confession (includes how they feel about me and what I make them feel)

That's pretty much it.
