Okay, I do remember both of those scenes, but neither of them counts as a romantic candlelight dinner in my book... It's really only the real romance novel type stuff I'm allergic to; I'm fine with Sam and Gene eating together. Or even sleeping in the same room. Hell, Mikey's stuff has demonstrated to me that I can even be fine with them sharing house and bed... under certain conditions.
Re: Candlelight dinners? In canon? It's more likely than you think!
