(Cover) - EN Showbiz - Kevin Jonas' "epic" dates don't always go according to plan, according to his brother Joe.

The American singer-and-actor made his name in band the Jonas Brothers, alongside siblings Kevin and Nick.

Joe, who is currently enjoying a solo music career while the trio concentrate on their own projects, says older brother Kevin is a romantic when it comes to relationships.

Kevin is married to Danielle Deleasa, and always makes an effort to keep his wife happy. Joe says his elder brother's plans aren't always fool-proof though.

"Nick is all about taking the first dates really easy and just watching a movie. I think it's better to go that way, and save the big stuff for a big occasion," he told Bliss magazine.

"Kevin is the romantic, he'll make a date epic, which doesn't always work out! It's best to treat the girl with respect and just be really nice."

Joe uses his culinary skills to impress a girl.

The 22-year-old star says his Italian cooking always goes down a treat.

"I love to cook. Whatever the lady would like! I try to challenge myself to be able to cook anything. Italian food is my favourite, so I love making pasta," he explained.

Joe thinks he's good at understanding the opposite sex. The singer knows when he's making his date happy.

"I like to think I am pretty quick. You can never fully figure someone out, but I can usually tell whether they're enjoying being in my company or listening to my music. You can always tell when someone is properly smiling with their eyes," he said.

Joe enjoyed a high-profile relationship with country pop singer Taylor Swift in 2008. Later, he began a year-long relationship with Camilla Belle after she starred in his band's music promo for Lovebug.

Joe has also enjoyed a brief romance with Demi Lovato in 2010, before beginning a relationship with Ashley Green. It was announced in March this year that the couple had split. (C) Cover Media
