Katrina Robinson / 28, Charleston, SC
I'm a freelance writer/editor who loves reading (Chuck Palahniuk is my fave), hanging out on the beach, grabbing a few beers, and playing with my dogs (and my man).

Traditional Cuba Libre
Her answer: I'd rather he be interesting than be a marathoner
Sure, the physical is important, but the mind is more important.
Her answer: Romantic walk on the beach
Romance? Check. Killer scenery? Check.
Her answer: Ex-girlfriend's name
YeahóI love tattoos, but I wouldn't be able to deal with an ex's name on your body...forever.
Her answer: He just better be good at it
I don't cook, so it's nice if he cooks.
Her answer: A big, hearty steak
Be a man. Get a steak. I sure as hell will.
Her answer: Is passionate and open about his love for me
I don't dig games.
Her answer: Taking in the beauty of the world, me included.
I fully understand that the world doesn't revolve around me.
Her answer: There's no particular age
Everyone's paths are different.
Her answer: If it had serious potential.
What wouldn't you do for love?
Her answer: Yes.
Girls love flowers.
Her answer: Never.
That's just silly. Not everyone can afford jewelry over and over again.
Her answer: No.
I'm so excited to be with who I'm with.
Her answer: Nope.
We're all looking for a little love.
Her answer: Yes.
99.9% of women care about Valentine's Day.
Her answer: Cool.
Why not spice up the bedroom?
Her answer: Romantic.
If the chemistry is there, this would be very romantic.
Her answer: No.
People put too much pressure on Valentine's Day. You're setting yourself up for failure.
Her answer: Cozy-up by the fire
Romance!
Her answer: The thought.
Unless you're dating a bitch. Then it's the value that matters.
Her answer: Why not?
What's the big deal?
Her answer: Of course
Free food and booze? Yes please!
Her answer: Underdress
Comfort is key!
Her answer: A few years into the relationship
It greatly depends on the in-laws.
Her answer: Separate
Just out of respect.
Her answer: little too big?
It's sad when a lady tries on an article of clothing and it's too small. It makes us feel fat.
Her answer: Cute
Kissing is always good, no matter how it comes about.
Her answer: Rum punch
Although anything with alcohol sounds good to me.
Her answer: C'mon. Wash your feet.
It doesn't take long.
Her answer: Hardly a habit
Unless you're over the top.
Her answer: “Booooooring.”
But it does depend on what they're debating.
Her answer: Can you not be pleasant and honest?
And if I absolutely have to choose between the two, I choose honesty.
Her answer: Not at all
Just keep your beer cold and we'll be fine.
Her answer: Full democracy
I'm pretty easy going.
Her answer: Gangs of New York
I freaking loved that movie.
Her answer: Why wouldn't it be?
We've already made out, so what's the difference?
Her answer: Show her your moves
As long as you're having fun, she won't care how you dance.
Her answer: If there's chemistry, why not?
You never know until you give it a shot.
Her answer: Depends how hard you're trying to find a job
If you're mooching, I'm pissed. But if you're honestly trying, I understand. It's a tough economy.
Her answer: Hate it.
Never been there, don't care about going there.
Her answer: It's mandatory, every day.
“Mandatory” is a harsh word, but yes, it would be nice if you asked.
Her answer: Five minutes.
I hate politics.
Her answer: Finish it.
Waste not, want not!
Her answer: If you are TALENTED starving artist.
I, too, am a starving artist, so it would be hypocritical of me to say 'no'.
Her answer: We should be teaching each other.
I'd get bored dating someone exactly like myself.
Her answer: When I'm close to you.
Don't scare me away with fumes.
Her answer: Beatles
That was the hardest question I've been asked.
Her answer: It's all in good fun
I will definitely point out yours.
Her answer: Once a week
Even I don't want to talk to my mom every day.
Her answer: Why not?
Onions are a different story.
Her answer: No way.
That would lead to horrible drama.
Her answer: What kind of jobs are we talking about?
It depends on how long you spent at each job.
Her answer: Let me be the judge of your awesomeness
I want to know everything about you, as long as you aren't a cocky son of a bitch.
Her answer: The lady.
No need to try to be sexy with your undies—just take them off already.
Her answer: If you want to look like a loser.
Blazers suck. Jeans and t-shirts all the way.
Her answer: Nah, doesn't matter.
Wow—gold dig much?
Her answer: Never!
Hard hair is not sexy.
Her answer: Whenever
I'm not picky—or bitchy—enough to be weird about athletic socks.
Her answer: A kiss
No need to 'celebrate' together. That's sort of tacky.
Her answer: TRUE
Common courtesy, fellas.
Her answer: Annual calls are okay.
I can deal if you're close to an ex...but I won't necessarily be crazy about the idea.
Her answer: Split
Depends on the contraceptive-I don't expect you to pay for my birth control pills.
Her answer: I want to see pretty much everything
I love to Facebook stalk.
Her answer: Just don’t tell me about it.
Actually, you can even tell me about it. Get a lap dance—just don't screw or touch any strippers.
Her answer: A story is a story is a story.
It doesn't bother me. I'm secure with our relationship.
Her answer: Twenty percent
Unless they REALLY suck. But typically, 20% is the acceptable minimum.
Her answer: No.
Only at lunch-I can understand getting important work related calls during the day.
Her answer: Let’s do this, but keep it quiet.
Of course, I'm not the most professional person in the world...
Her answer: Dead-on.
I don't lie about that kind of crap.
Her answer: Everything.
No shaving necessary, but trimming usually is.
Her answer: Muscly and cut.
But I'm cool with husky guys, also.
Her answer: Yes, it’s like understanding another universe.
I wouldn't go that far, but I wouldn't knock you for your comic book obsession.
Her answer: Doesn’t matter
Depends on the chemistry.
Her answer: Stubble
Any facial hair is good...except for a child molester mustache.
Her answer: Boxers
Tighty whities freak me out.
Her answer: Just before we’re…intimate
It varies, depending on the guy (and girl).
Her answer: No
But if I liked them during the date, I would Google search them afterwards.
Her answer: Don’t care
I'm not THAT OCD.
Her answer: Daily
I think it depends on the guy.
Her answer: There’s a time and a place
Depends on the situation.
Her answer: 2 days
Just put it inside out.
Her answer: Never. It’s guy code.
Seriously. Even I know that, and I'm a chick.
Her answer: If you love your girl, tell her.
It's kind of a given that you share things with your significant other.
Her answer: Get thee to an ATM after a massive apology.
Shit happens.
Her answer: Unnecessary
I really don't care.
Her answer: Hilarious
I have a serious issue if you feel differently.
Her answer: Books
I love reading books, and it's nice to have someone to talk books with.
Her answer: Yep
So do I.
Her answer: The same
Only if you enjoy it.
Her answer: A good way to have lots of great stories
Wish I had!
Her answer: Yes
Unless we're comparing travel notes.
Her answer: Beer is enough
Who can go wrong with beer? Cheese would be good, too...
Her answer: 1st
Get a room.
Her answer: Somewhat
It's nice, but if you don't notice, it's not a huge deal.
Her answer: Only if you’ve got a legitimate problem
Sometimes you just can't hold it.
Her answer: First come, first served.
It's rude if you get to the door first & don't open it for the other person, regardless of gender.
Her answer: If you’re under 25, ask your parents for some gift money.
That's what parents are for!
Her answer: A night on the town.
With many shots.
Her answer: The Hair of the Dog
Choke down that beer. I promise you'll feel better.
Her answer: 2 good
It has to taste good.
Her answer: Yes. But they’re just using you.
If they get drunk enough, they might want to do you.
Her answer: Remove the soiled piece of clothing. Party on.
Don't let it bug ya, man!
Her answer: False
If you drink enough of anything, you'll be hugging the potty.
Her answer: Yes, it’s lame.
...and this is because I don't go to places that check coats. I'm just not that fancy.
Her answer: A dented can of beer
Or shots. I could go either way.
Her answer: A dented can of beer
Or shots. I could go either way.
Her answer: Not really
If you're a pimp or something, I might give a damn.
Her answer: No
Titles are just titles. I care more about who YOU are.
Her answer: Don’t care
Money sucks.
Her answer: Not necessary. Just do your job!
It can turn into an awkward 'relationship'. Other times, you can meet some great friends this way.
Her answer: Put together a list of your recent accomplishments.
I'm definitely not the most work-savvy, but this is what I would do.
Her answer: Get over it! It’s a necessary evil. Talk to people.
I hate them, too.
Her answer: Don’t care
Again, I say...style schmyle!
Her answer: 60% of the time
If you're hilarious, I can dig it.
Her answer: Stupid
Why? Why, I ask?!
Her answer: Out
Come on, guys. Common sense.
Her answer: Who cares?
A guy I date wouldn't be wearing a blazer or dressy slacks. Probably just a pair of jeans and a t-sh
Her answer: Out
In for chicks, out for guys.
Her answer: I’d prefer he focus on more important issues
Style schmyle.
Her answer: Phone
Preferably in person, but on the phone is just fine.
Her answer: Yep!
I just know that I wouldn't want a guy to cut me off just because he didn't like my mom.
Her answer: Romantic
Unless you are just creepy.
Her answer: Maybe?
Most of the time, it's LUST at first sight. Let's be honest.
Her answer: Funny
Make me laugh, and I'm yours.
Her answer: I don’t care
I'm pretty tall (5'10') and have dated guys of all different heights.
Her answer: Not a problem
As long as you shave the whole head or don't try to cover it up with a combover.
Her answer: Two days
You don't want to seem too aloof or too needy.
Her answer: Two
Depends on how the date goes. If it goes incredibly, I see no harm in inviting her up after.
Her answer: No way. I'd know and that's all that matters.
The guilt would eat me alive.
Her answer: Absolutely. You've got to show some respect.
Unless we're talking about a psycho or one night stand.
Her answer: If it wasn't going to get around, sure.
That's how I met my current guy...
Her answer: 70+
When love is involved, my man will never lose his looks...I'll always be attracted.
Her answer: If I found the right guy...
...And I did! Been married 3 1/2 years now.
Her answer: I tried it once. Not for me.
Freaks, perverts, and middle-aged losers. Not for me.
Her answer: Once in a while
I'm a professional Facebook stalker.
Her answer: Feeling close to their partner
If you're dealing with intimacy and romance, it's more than just sex.
Her answer: Absolutely
I have to give guys the benefit of the doubt on this one.
Her answer: No
Many women have a hard time embracing their sexuality, and this can lead to difficult relationships.
Her answer: The first few dates
Then we can go dutch or switch off.
Her answer: Bourbon straight, no chaser.
Manly man!
Her answer: Um, other.
No, not the package--the back! I love a man's back.
Her answer: Of course
It wouldn't be HUMAN if a person never cried.
Her answer: The opportunity to advance
I'm too young to find my end-all.
Her answer: Family
...and friends. Interpersonal relationships are more important than money or status.
Her answer: Weekly
I hate texting.
Her answer: Guys love breasts. Even plastic ones.
Nothing wrong with loving boobies.
Her answer: I'm cutting back on shopping.
I have to keep my shit together.
Her answer: All of the above
But preferably just a beer, please.
Her answer: A dive with a dart board and a pool table
I want to be comfortable.
Her answer: I like to mix it up and try a few different things
...and this leads to debauchery.
Her answer: Are a bit too picky with their liquor
Lose the brand loyalty, buddy.
Her answer: I can twist off a cap or pop a top.
And I'm not great in the kitchen either.
Her answer: Lean all the way over the bar
...and show my cleavage.
Her answer: Fun
...especially if I'm drunk.
Her answer: Black and Blue (with blackberries and blueberries)
Never traditional.
Her answer: Mai Tai
Yummmmm.
Her answer: A little of both
It simply isn't fun to be nice ALL the time...
Her answer: We've never talked about it.
We have different salaries, so we just do what we can with what we have.
Her answer: Fly solo
In fact, I won't even be out shopping on Black Friday. I'll be in bed with my man.
Her answer: Other
We switch off and try to do our best to see both our families.
Her answer: Sweets
Well, hello there, gut! Nice to see you again.
Her answer: Carving the turkey
I'll be the one sitting in a La-Z-Boy.
Her answer: Hitting the sack
What can I say? I'm lazy.
Her answer: What?
Do I look like I care?
Her answer: Chillaxing
And spending time with your loved ones.
Her answer: Somewhere familiar
So that we're both comfortable.
Her answer: About a month
Of course, it depends on a lot of factors.
Her answer: Yes, I've managed to make the transition.
But it's still difficult.
Her answer: I'm not looking for a husband
I wasn't...and then I met mine.
Her answer: As soon as we break up
Why be coy about it?
Her answer: After we've been in a relationship for a few months
Bringing a guy to a wedding can send some seriously effed up signals.
Her answer: Not that important
...because I'm not religious.
Her answer: Not that important
I'm a democrat, my husband's a republican.
Her answer: Not
Let's just do it in person...okay?
Her answer: Nope. I have my own style.
Plus, my parents are a little wacky.
Her answer: Neither
I'm not into sports.
Her answer: Front man
He's the one I'm watching the whole time (for the most part).
Her answer: Mild
I'm kind of a baby when it comes to spicy foods.
Her answer: No way. Too much baggage there.
...unless he's pretty damned special.
Her answer: Pass the controller; I'll frag your ass
I may not kick your ass, but I'll have a damned good time trying.
Her answer: Dog person
No explanation necessary.
Her answer: Yes. He's got style, and I dig that.
I think it's silly to have constraints on what your partner can or cannot do.
Her answer: Not into it
Just my personal opinion.
Her answer: Funny
...because I'm one of them.
Her answer: I don't watch it
Loved the books, absolutely hate the movies. Refuse to comment.
Her answer: Pull your car up to my apartment
I don't ride tandem bikes. So there.
Her answer: I don't watch it
I've heard it's great, though!
Her answer: I don't watch it
I've heard it's great, though!
Her answer: NY Style
Big slices, perfect crust.
Her answer: Soft shell
I'm not huge into tacos, though.
Her answer: Soft shell
I'm so over hard shells
Her answer: Rock
Classic rock all the way, kids.
Her answer: 70s
Classic rock all the way.
Her answer: I don't watch it
Yum.
Her answer: Awesome idea!
I love music. Let's love music together.
Her answer: Start-up
I want him to be passionate about what he does.
Her answer: Love
Love will get you out of binds that money couldn't even touch.
Her answer: Around the world
I am passionate about what I do...so I'd follow a killer job anywhere.
Her answer: Rolls
Yummmmmmm!
Her answer: Roasted chicken
My husband is the only reason I eat every day.
Her answer: He can fix it
...unless I can fix it. Then I'll take care of it myself.
Her answer: Take shorter showers
And recycle. That's about as far as I go.
Her answer: Buzz off - I'm already in a relationship
Sorry, boys--I'm taken.
Her answer: I love it!
Just about every girl loves falling in love.
Her answer: Very important
If you can make me laugh, you're in (not my pants, dirty boy!)
Her answer: Somewhat important
Being able to talk about what means something to me is pretty damned important.
Her answer: Yes
I don't like to play games.
Her answer: No. Why spoil the mystery?
Actually...it's just been a while since I've been on a first date.
Her answer: No
I'm not THAT shallow.
Her answer: Not thrilled, but go ahead.
I can't tell my BF what to do. All I can do is trust him.
Her answer: Nothing to talk about
If you have zero in the brains department, then it's a dealbreaker.
Her answer: Words: Tell them how much you appreciate them
And touch. I'm touchy-feely.
Her answer: Yes
It would be hard to be okay with, but if I love the guy, then I'd have to learn to be okay with it.
Her answer: Yes, but I would not play that much.
That would be time for me to do what I enjoy doing solo--reading, writing, etc.
Her answer: Important-ish
If he stinks, I'm out.
Her answer: Yes
I am in love as I type.
Her answer: Some
It's a part of sharing everything with my significant other.
Her answer: No
Not a good idea. Period.
Her answer: No
Flirting's okay. More than flirting? Not okay.
Her answer: Weird
Normal is boring.
Her answer: Unnecessary but appreciated.
Makes me smile and feel like a lady.
Her answer: Visual/spatial/artistic
I'm kind of artsy-fartsy myself.
