Cocktail lounge, yes. The setting has to be right - relaxed, with a degree of privacy and intimacy, but with an elegant and beautiful backdrop to look at.

Dinner is nice too, but even in my normal life, I usually find I am either too distracted by the food to have a great conversation, or too engrossed in my company to enjoy the food.

The perfect date for me begins with conversation - exploring each other and various topics of curiosity. I'm an introvert, so stimulation of the mind is crucial. Nothing sexier than a woman with an innate desire to discover the world around her and learn.

Not saying I don't do private-time-only dates too; I'm a busy guy. Sometimes, even on those short dates, the chemistry just happens to be off the charts right away, which is always awesome.
