<human>: Can you provide a brief overview of the text?

I've been dating this girl on and off for the last 5 months, though not officially, at least not in name. I've had some serious commitment issues in the past, but I've finally decided that she's everything I want and more. I really do want to commit to her. I want to ask her to be my girlfriend, but I'm worried that she will have reservations because of my past actions. 

Now, I've never done anything like this before, never had a serious relationship or even remotely tried to be romantic, but I'm trying to plan a romantic dinner for myself and my (hopefully soon-to-be) girlfriend for next week. I want it to be super elaborate and over the top romantic to convince her that I'm serious and understand the kind of commitment this kind of relationship requires. 

My plan is to make a reservation at a really really nice restaurant, somewhere where we can have a private table or reserve a patio to ourselves. We'd both be dressed up super nice, not tuxedo nice but maybe business casual (nicer than sweaters and yoga pants), and we'd get chauffeured to the restaurant. I'd love for it to in be a limo or a town car.

Once we get to the restaurant, by our table there would be a guitarist playing some instrumentals for atmosphere. I'd also like to hire a sketch artist to sketch the scene, either for progeny's sake or at least to draw memories from (no pun in ten did). 

Bearing in mind that I am a college student, I don't want to spend too much money. But she means an awful lot to me, and I'm comfortable spending at least a couple hundred dollars to make this perfect. 

Any advice you can give me would be welcome, be it a different idea or ways to facilitate the idea I already have (I live in the LA area, so any relevant restaurant suggestions or artist suggestions would be very helpful).
<bot>: I want to make a statement with a really romantic date. Looking to book a private meal, and hire a guitarist and a sketch artist (maybe a photographer too). Please give me some advice!
