  1. His Idea of the perfect Date

In an interview with Cosmo, Matthew described his perfect first date as, “I’d pick her up with Sam Cook playing on the radio, driving with the windows down and the heat on, then go to maybe a museum like the Museum of Jurassic Technology in Los Angeles or the Neue Galerie in New York, walk around aimlessly in Central Park, go to dinner somewhere great. New York is probably the best place to go on a date. And if at any point it’s terrible, you can hail a cab and run!”
