Everyone has certain things that they look for in every person they date. For Derek Ramsay, it’s quite simple--you just have to be able to have a great conversation with him. We got to chat with him when he was recently introduced as Dunkin’ Donuts’ newest ambassador, and we found out that underneath his hunky exterior lies a total romantic.

“As long as there’s good conversation, it doesn’t matter if the date’s in a car, in a restaurant, on a beach,” he said. “A perfect date is when we get lost in conversation. And without even knowing it, it’s already 3, 4:00 in the morning and you’re still in that conversation. It’s that intangible thing that gets two people together. That’s what I look for.”
