This recipe is elegant enough to serve at a dinner party, but easy enough that you can cook it within 5-15 minutes.

A good thing to do to get a girl to like you is to play hard to get. Don't be over anxious, don't be a stalker, don't swoon all over her, and don't give her your undivided attention.
