Sara Koch / 30, Youngstown, OH
I work in advertising, love to travel, cook and learn new things.

Her answer: Before they're 40
After you've figured out who you are and what you want in a spouse.
Her answer: Yes.
Flowers are always appreciated. It lets me know you're thinking about me when we're not together.
Her answer: 1 year.
Just don't let it be heart-shaped anything.
Her answer: No.
He's my ex for a reason.
Her answer: Yup.
Don't be a creep.
Her answer: No.
Some girls truly do think it's just as cheesy as you do.
Her answer: Cool.
As long as you get the size right, I'll at least humor you by wearing it.
Her answer: Creepy.
Waaay too much too soon.
Her answer: No.
Never ever ask a girl on a first date on Valentine's Day. Ever.
Her answer: Big party
The more the merrier.
Her answer: The thought.
Expensive crap doesn't outdo thoughtful cheap stuff.
Her answer: Why not?
I'm probably drunk, so it just makes sense.
Her answer: Of course
Office politics, you know...
Her answer: Overdress
A party is an excuse to get dolled up. Do it.
Her answer: A few years into the relationship
Depends on whether or not you hate the in-laws.
Her answer: Separate
It's all about first impressions.
Her answer: little too small?
No girl wants to feel like you think she's a fatty.
Her answer: Cute
You can only pull that lame trick once a year.
Her answer: Rum punch
Any beverage with eggs is gross.
Her answer: C'mon. Wash your feet.
Grody.
Her answer: Someone to come home to
At this stage of my life, I'm looking to settle down and get serious. For reals.
Her answer: Intensely annoying
Sit still and pay attention, please.
Her answer: I love it!
Hands down the greatest feeling in the world! Nothing else matters when you're in l-o-v-e.
Her answer: “Booooooring.”
I've honestly never thought about this before.
Her answer: Can you not be pleasant and honest?
Be both, please.
Her answer: Very important
Absolutely the most important trait a man must have. If you can't laugh together, you got nothing.
Her answer: Not at all
It'd be nice, but not necessary.
Her answer: Full democracy
Taking turns is nice.
Her answer: The Departed
Mmmm... Leonardo DicCaprio.
Her answer: Somewhat important
We don't need to talk theory all the time, but it'd be nice if he were open to it.
Her answer: Use your finger
So disgusting.
Her answer: Show her your moves
At least make an effort.
Her answer: It is possible, but not recommended.
She's only being nice to you for the tip.
Her answer: No
I still prefer the old-fashioned chase.
Her answer: Depends how hard you're trying to find a job
At some point, you're going to have to suck it up and start waiting tables.
Her answer: Love it.
Ummm... what?
Her answer: Yes. Knowledge is power!
Oh yeah, every time. Better safe than sorry.
Her answer: It's mandatory, every day.
It's the polite thing to do.
Her answer: Yes, but only if they were obese.
I'm a fat-ist. Sorry.
Her answer: Thirty minutes.
It depends on whether or not the conversation gets heated.
Her answer: Ditch it.
You'll look like a pig. Don't do that.
Her answer: No way!
It depends on how long the relationship lasted, but it's usually best to just not go down that road.
Her answer: No chance, sorry!
I wish I could be nice about this, but I can't. Sorry.
Her answer: We should be teaching each other.
I'm sure there's lots we can learn from each other.
Her answer: No physical attraction
If the physical part isn't there, it's not going to work for me.
Her answer: When I'm close to you.
Keep it subtle.
Her answer: Actions: Do something nice (like a date or errand)
Actions always speak louder than words.
Her answer: Stones
I heart Mick Jagger.
Her answer: It's all in good fun
I am a grammar nerd.
Her answer: No
Probably the insecure girl coming out, but it just makes me uncomfortable.
Her answer: Once a week
You can tell a lot about a guy by how he treats his mom.
Her answer: Just as long as we both are.
Sort of gross, but it only works when we're both garlicky.
Her answer: No.
Time to grow up.
Her answer: Maybe?
It depends on whether or not I think you'll be able to handle working with my dad.
Her answer: Important-ish
There's a thin line here... don't want to OD on the cologne.
Her answer: What kind of jobs are we talking about?
Depends on the reason, I suppose.
Her answer: Yes
As long as it doesn't affect our time together.
Her answer: Talk about your other interests first
Hopefully you have more to talk about than your job, awesome or not.
Her answer: Some
Not the minute details, but I think it's important to share what happened during your day.
Her answer: The lady.
A guy in 'sexy underwear' equals deal breaker.
Her answer: Depends where you're going
Probably not, but there are some exceptions, I suppose.
Her answer: No
No way in hell. There are sooo many other men to choose from.
Her answer: Nah, doesn't matter.
The thought has never even crossed my mind.
Her answer: Yes
There's never a reason for that to be okay. So disrespectful.
Her answer: Depends on his style.
As long as he doesn't overdo it.
Her answer: Only when playing sports.
They're called 'athletic' for a reason.
Her answer: Normal
I like to play it safe.
Her answer: A high five before I get in a cab
And you're paying my cab fare home.
Her answer: TRUE
Keep it tidy, fellas.
Her answer: Admirable and desirable – chivalry's not dead.
Always, always, always welcomed! So few men still act like gentlemen.
Her answer: Annual calls are okay.
As long as there aren't still feelings, you should be able to be friends.
Her answer: Social/interpersonal
I like someone who has a similar intellect to myself.
Her answer: Split
He pays for his, she pays for hers.
Her answer: I want to see pretty much everything
I'd rather be overly informed.
Her answer: Just don’t tell me about it.
I think it's disrespectful if you're in a serious relationship. But otherwise, knock yourself out.
Her answer: Tell the story, call her ‘a friend.’
I don't need details about exes, thanks.
Her answer: Twenty percent
At LEAST 20%. Don't be cheap.
Her answer: No.
Never acceptable. Ever.
Her answer: If it’s mutual, one of us has to go.
And I'd prefer you be the one to leave.
Her answer: We're all a bunch of liars.
No one answers this question honestly. No one.
Her answer: Your hairy private parts.
I take care of things down there, and so should you.
Her answer: Bigger than me.
I like to feel like the girl in the relationship.
Her answer: Ummm, no. Comic books are for children.
That just seems dorky to me.
Her answer: Doesn’t matter
It's all about timing, my friend.
Her answer: Stubble
One day stubble is hot. More than that, not so much.
Her answer: Boxer briefs
Snug in a non-creepy way.
Her answer: Once we’re ‘serious’
Everyone has a history. I prefer to keep mine private, thank you very much.
Her answer: Yes
Just checking to see whether or not he has a criminal record and/or restraining orders.
Her answer: Ice cream and taquitos
Ice cream would be good enough for me.
Her answer: 2nd
Get a room.
Her answer: Definitely
Pay attention!
Her answer: Less cool
No thank you.
Her answer: Never. It’s guy code.
There are other fish in the sea.
Her answer: Indispensable
Gotta love NPR.
Her answer: Never
So gross.
Her answer: Hilarious
Funny guys finish first.
Her answer: Anything at all
A good mix of reading materials would be nice.
Her answer: Nope.
Work on being more well-rounded...
Her answer: Seriously?
You shouldn't even have to ask.
Her answer: Over
It simply tears off more easily.
Her answer: Once a week
At least once a week.
Her answer: If a guy says/thinks this, he’s an idiot
Grow up.
Her answer: If you love your girl, tell her.
Depends what the secret is and how it will make me view your friend.
Her answer: You do.
Always, always, always open doors for a girl. Always.
Her answer: Never, ever show up to dinner without cash.
That would officially be our last date.
Her answer: Offer to take them out for dinner post-honeymoon.
At least it's something...
Her answer: A night on the town.
You can't go wrong with a night on the town.
Her answer: Brunch!
Pancakes are capable of fixing a lot of life's problems.
Her answer: No
As long as you have more to talk about than how drunk you got at the Guiness museum.
Her answer: True
That's a mistake you only make once.
Her answer: 2 good
Quality over quantity.
Her answer: No, why have the extra baggage?
One less thing to forget at the bar.
Her answer: Yes, it’s the nice thing to do.
Just don't be a creep about it.
Her answer: Red Wine
Mmmmm, Merlot.
Her answer: Club soda, stat!
Guess it depends on how badly you want to salvage that piece of clothing.
Her answer: Overdress
At least he'd look like he made an effort.
Her answer: Every time
Gross.
Her answer: Not really
As long as it's an honest living and he likes what he does.
Her answer: No
Again, as long as he's employed, I'll be happy.
Her answer: Don’t care
As long as he's employed.
Her answer: Yes, it’s a must.
Play nice and be sociable.
Her answer: Put together a list of your recent accomplishments.
Focus on your own work and then research what others are making.
Her answer: Get over it! It’s a necessary evil. Talk to people.
Confidence is sexy.
Her answer: Slacks
Always match the socks to the slacks.
Her answer: In
I don't really know what to say about this...
Her answer: Out
Uncomfortable.
Her answer: I’d prefer he focus on more important issues
As long as he doesn't dress better than I do.
Her answer: In person
Grow some balls and ask in person.
Her answer: It depends on the level of hate.
It could work if I only had to see her a few times a year.
Her answer: Romantic
I guess it depends on the context...
Her answer: Maybe?
I guess it could happen, but it hasn't happened to me.
Her answer: Funny
You've got to be able to laugh at the craziness of life.
Her answer: Taller than me
I don't think it's asking too much for you to be taller than 5'3''.
Her answer: Not a problem
As long as it's not extreme...
Her answer: One day
No game playing, please.
Her answer: Two
If you got a second date, you're probably doing well enough to not get shot down if you invite me up
Her answer: No way. I'd know and that's all that matters.
My guilty conscience would get to me. Plus, karama is a bia.
Her answer: Absolutely. You've got to show some respect.
Depends how long you've been dating, but in person is typically best.
Her answer: If it wasn't going to get around, sure.
Probably not the best idea in the world, but I'm not 100% opposed to it.
Her answer: 50s
The only hot guy in his 50s is a little someone named George Clooney.
Her answer: Yes
Absolutely!
Her answer: Yup
It gets harder to meet people post-college, so you might as well use all your resources.
Her answer: Once in a while
Not a huge fan of creeping on FB.
Her answer: Feeling close to their partner
I think most guys like doing things to make their partner happy.
Her answer: It depends on the guy
Some guys are more willing to take responsibility for birth control than others.
Her answer: Guys can never be satisfied.
Don't all guys want more sex?!
Her answer: The first few dates
I'm all for the guy paying for dates most of the time, but I'm happy to chip in sometimes too.
Her answer: A six pack of beer
Microbrews specifically.
Her answer: Arms
Nothing hotter on a guy's body than some strong, cut arms.
Her answer: Of course
I like a man who's in touch with his emotions and isn't afraid to show them. Don't be a crybaby though.
Her answer: The opportunity to advance
No point in being in a career that doesn't have growth opportunity.
Her answer: Family
A great family will always be the ultimate status symbol.
Her answer: Weekly
I prefer to actually speak with friends on the phone or in person.
Her answer: Guys love breasts. Even plastic ones.
I don't think most guys could even tell or care if a woman had implants.
Her answer: I'm cutting back on shopping.
I'm more conscience of where my money goes now.
Her answer: With a twist
Mixed drinks are my preferred poison.
Her answer: An outdoor rooftop with a beautiful view
I'll always go for a rooftop bar.
Her answer: I like to mix it up and try a few different things
Anything from wine, to liquor to beer.
Her answer: I don't really care, as long as he brings back two
As long as it's not bottom shelf junk.
Her answer: Infusing, muddling, flaming orange peels; I love a challenging cocktail.
I'm always up for trying to make new drinks.
Her answer: Wave a $20
Why wasn't 'show cleavage' an option?
Her answer: Lame
Totally played out and overrated.
Her answer: Traditional
I'll drink any type of mojito!
Her answer: Mojito
I'll drink anything with Don Q!
Her answer: A little of both
A nice balance of both.
Her answer: We've never talked about it.
We haven't been dating long enough to have that conversation.
Her answer: Fly solo
He'll only complain and bring me down. I can't be slowed down by whiners.
Her answer: My parents
We'll be taking turns from here on out.
Her answer: Shopping
One for you, one for me...
Her answer: Sitting in a La-Z-Boy
He can't cook. At all.
Her answer: Hitting the sack
I prefer to hibernate for the winter months.
Her answer: Lose
Don't they always lose?
Her answer: Family time
You only get to/have to see some of these people once a year.
Her answer: Somewhere new
Best to start off fresh.
Her answer: About a month
Gotta get the rebound out of the way early.
Her answer: No, I've seen this person naked.
This very rarely works out well.
Her answer: At the supermarket or another unassuming place
I'm pretty sure I've already dated all of my friends' friends.
Her answer: I don't share that info on Facebook
I don't want people all up in my bizness.
Her answer: After we've gone out a few times
As long as he's a good dancer and won't be a sloppy drunk, he's good to go!
Her answer: Not that important
As long as he doesn't preach about his religion, it doesn't matter.
Her answer: Somewhat important
Political similarities are way more important than religious views.
Her answer: Hot
Totally hot! Builds the anticipation...
Her answer: Nope. I have my own style.
I prefer to make my own mistakes, thankyouverymuch.
Her answer: Mark Sanchez
Tom Brady is a cheating douche bag.
Her answer: Front man
He's usually the best looking since he's front and center.
Her answer: Spicy
Just a lil' kick, please.
Her answer: If he proposed, I'd pack my bags.
No way would I move without a ring.
Her answer: No way. Too much baggage there.
Baby mama drama.
Her answer: He can play with his joystick alone
Seriously? Grow up, dude.
Her answer: Dog person
Dogs love you unconditionally. Cats, not so much.
Her answer: No. I'm the only one that needs a closet for my footwear in this relationship.
Guys don't need more than five pairs of shoes. Period.
Her answer: Not into it
Meh, not my style.
Her answer: I don't watch it
Pretty sure I'm too old for this movie/book.
Her answer: Funny
Sarcasm is a fine art.
Her answer: Pull your car up to my apartment
Public transit's not really an option.
Her answer: Joan
Joan tells it like it is-- she will NOT take your BS.
Her answer: Don
He's a dog. A super sexy, naughty dog.
Her answer: Deep Dish
Chicago-style deep dish is the reason pizza was invented.
Her answer: Hard shell
Soft shell gets too soggy.
Her answer: Rock
I like it all, but if I had to choose one, rock would be it.
Her answer: 60s
Post-oldies, pre-disco.
Her answer: I don't watch it
I think I'm the only person who doesn't watch this show.
Her answer: Awesome idea!
One of my best first dates was actually to a concert!
Her answer: Start-up
Be a part of something from the ground up.
Her answer: Love
Money can't buy you love. But, it can make you a huge douche.
Her answer: Across the country
As long as it's not more than a short flight from family and friends.
Her answer: Rolls
I've never met a sushi roll I didn't like.
Her answer: Can of soup
Only if the can of soup is a pop top.
Her answer: Just call the repairman
If it requires more than putting a nail in a wall, I can't do it.
Her answer: Separate the paper from the plastic
All the other options are borderline hippies.
