How to make me fall in love with you

I saw this on someone else's blog and thought it could be fun, so here goes.

1.  Smile.  "Smilers wear a crown, losers wear a frown."
2.  Dance with me.  A guy who knows how to move will always catch (and hold) my attention.
2.5  Dance with me in the rain.
3.  Have a sense of humor.  Otherwise there are going to be many, many awkward silences.
4.  Sing to me.  (This pointer pretty much applies to any girl in the world.)
5.  Be intelligent and articulate.  I want someone with whom I can hold decent conversations with.
6.  Use proper grammar.  I absolutely cannot stand it when people don't know the difference between their/there/they're, to/too/two, your/you're, accept/except, affect/effect, etc.  Which brings me to my next point.
7.  Accept me just the way I am.  Weird quirks, habits, general oddness and all.  No seriously, do not try to change me.  My very vicious teething puppy attacks and chews anything I wave in his face.  You will regret it.
8.  Make playlists of my favourite songs.
9.  Build me a greenhouse full of flowers.
10.  Share interests and hobbies.  This is a very important point, or else I'll have to print off conversation starters.
11.  Eat fish and chips with me on a beach one night, and take me to a high end restaurant on another.
12.  Sing with me in the car.  If it's a song I know, I'll sing it.
13.  Stay in on a Friday/Saturday night in our pajamas and watch good movies whilst eating icing sugar popcorn, ice cream, and L&P.
14.  Be well presented.  I don't mean be a shallow, materialistic jerk - a little vanity is good.  And knowing what clothing article goes where helps too e.g. Belts are supposed to go around your middle, not halfway down your legs.
15.  Share my love of travelling.  Surprise me with road trips, weekend getaways, cruises...
16.  Travel around the world with me.  Paris, Venice, Barcelona...
17.  Hug me from behind.
18.  Write letters.  Actual ones with pen and paper.  And send them the old fashioned way with a stamp and snail mail.
19.  Smell good.
20.  Hold my hand when I need it.  Especially if it's a slippery surface and I'm in heels.
21.  Actually take me out on a date.  Don't automatically try to hook up with me.  I'm not a toy or a steak.
22.  Make me laugh, make me smile, make me happy, and never let me feel alone.
23.  Massages.
24.  Know that I hate coffee and I only drink hot chocolate in 'coffee situations'.
25.  Let me drive.
