I suppose if you are super serious about food or it is your passion and something you love so much you are searching for a partner that is as passionate about it as your are (because having something in common to share together is important) then maybe borderline Mr. Perfect isn't for you.

But to suggest that not appreciating food as much as you do means you can't trust them, is a flaw at all, or a sign of some deeper problem is completely ridiculous.

Perhaps borderline Mr. Perfect wouldn't be as interested in you if he knew you were thinking this about him in this regard or on a quest to change him.

I'm 26, my phone if for business as well as personal use, and I still think in most face to face interactions it is extremely rude to be playing around with a cell phone. Even if it's just my roommate and I at a diner for breakfast, I think it's respectful to the person you are with to keep your cell phone away.

I also think it is a little rude to be talking on the phone while ordering coffee at a cafe or checking out at the grocery store.

Obviously there are different situations/circumstances that allow for or require different "rules" as it has become very common place for one's phone to function as a business tool in addition to a personal gadget, but I think the larger point to be made is that people are increasingly using cell phones, smartphones, mobile devices in a manner that discards basic common courtsey.

I love a candle in the bathroom! Whenever anyone is stopping over it is lit. It adds a warm glow to my very small bethroom!

I don't think it's bad at all! Maybe I have that opinion because I imagine myself getting married in an actual old barn one day. I say string of white lights, candles, draped fabric up around that stage area will all help the space feel more romantic while not going in a completely different direction than its natural style.

your sofa is beautiful!

speaking of... any reccomendations for getting smoke smell out of a sofa?

I would get married just for that sofa.

I would look at overstock.com. When I moved into a house with a huge back deck and amazing built in pool (the one thing I miss since moving to nyc) I got lounge chairs, table, umbrella, etc very cheap (like $100 or less each). And added bonus, shipping is only $3.

I am a fan of mixing styles. I think there is always room for something new. And I agree, a matte charcoal would look great.
