Her answer: Big party
Kiss and heels. Always more likely to be found at a big party.
Her answer: The thought.
The thought counts and lasts longer than anything else.
Her answer: Why not?
Like I said, high heels and a kiss. That's all I ask for on New Year's eve.
Her answer: Of course
But ONLY if we're really serious. Bringing flings to holiday parties is unsavory.
Her answer: Overdress
Just two requirements for new years: a kiss and astronomically high heels.
Her answer: A few years into the relationship
Depends on how close you are to the parents - but a gift always makes a good impression.
Her answer: Same
It's not 1956 anymore! Happy Holidays!
Her answer: little too big?
There is nothing worse for the psyche than having to 'squeeze'... unsightly.
Her answer: Cute
Who doesn't like an impromptu holiday kiss?
Her answer: Rum punch
I can drink more rum punch. It really is that simple.
Her answer: C'mon. Wash your feet.
If only because it feels nice!
Her answer: Intensely annoying
Ok now kids, we all have to become adults at some point...
Her answer: “Ooh, sexy.”
The is the equivalent of asking guys 'what do you think when you see two girls making out?'
Her answer: Can you not be pleasant and honest?
That, my friend, is the sign of a well mannered, articulate man and that's a-ok with me.
Her answer: Not at all
As long as he knows how to put alcohol and ice in a glass. Plus you can always learn :)
Her answer: Full democracy
Some people just don't know how to build a playlist. If you can, its the sexiest thing ever.
Her answer: Goodfellas
Classic, gritty, and Italian. An all around win.
Her answer: Why wouldn't it be?
I mean, I assume if you're spending the nigh't we've already gotten over the germ issue.
Her answer: Show her your moves
Even if you suck at it go for it! In the end you'll either impress with moves or ballsy character.
Her answer: It is possible, but not recommended.
Chances are you're drunk and momentarily in love with the person making you drunker.
Her answer: Depends how hard you're trying to find a job
You have control over autonomy, assertiveness and responsibility. Job or not, those things are hot.
Her answer: Love it.
Why not? Don't know a thing about it but I'll keep an open mind.
Her answer: It's mandatory, every day.
It's just another way of saying 'I care about how and what you are doing' and that's just nice.
Her answer: Thirty minutes.
Or however long, no one should be afraid of politics. If the conversation is interesting, go with it
Her answer: Finish it.
If it's almost done, why not? Plus it's kind of hot to watch the last sip go down.
Her answer: If you know how to be creative on a date.
Artists are great as long as they aren't too self-obsessed & can still have fun & be attentive.
Her answer: We should be teaching each other.
Complimentary is the name of the game to keep things interesting.
Her answer: When I'm close to you.
By 'close' i mean when you are holding me so, and in that case a hint of cologne is just lovely.
Her answer: Beatles
No question. This is fundamental to compatibility. More than anything else including kid or no kids.
Her answer: It's all in good fun
Dork! *blush*
Her answer: Once a week
Or whenever you want to. A good relationship with Mom is the sign of a great, great guy. Hands down.
Her answer: Why not?
Garlic is yummy. No need to curb yumminess no matter who you are dining with.
Her answer: Maybe?
If it's in line with what you're actually into and we're serious enough, why not?
Her answer: What kind of jobs are we talking about?
A good range of jobs usually means your curious and fearless. That's always good.
Her answer: Let me be the judge of your awesomeness
If your job is integral to who you are, talk away. But don't just blow hot air.
Her answer: The lady.
Men are meant to be a bit more rugged.
Her answer: Depends where you're going
Why not? As long as the blazer isn't denim too...
Her answer: Yes, it shows style.
Nice wallets vs expensive wallets: nice wallets mean you are responsible and organized.
Her answer: Never!
Not unless he is playing Don Draper.
Her answer: Only when playing sports.
....or while watching movies. Same rules apply to sweatpants.
Her answer: A kiss
A kiss is short, sweet and simple.
Her answer: FALSE
Men are men, not girly men. Plus, a bit of ruggedness never killed anyone :)
Her answer: Annual calls are okay.
Realistically, constant contact with an ex is messy business, and girls know it.
Her answer: Split
Why not? It's not like we're in the 50's, both people want and need it.
Her answer: I want to see pretty much everything
Yup, once I am really curious, I treat Facebook like an openbook :)
Her answer: Only for a best friend’s bachelor party.
Sigh. They're gross and dumb. But if you have to go it's all fun and games right....right?
Her answer: A story is a story is a story.
As long as you don't cry or boyish-ly blush while you say her name, tell the story already!
Her answer: Tip according to service
By that I mean 15% or above. Generosity is a good sign...but never be a push over!
Her answer: Yes.
Why not? You never know when a YouTube video or Facebook pic needs to be laughed at immediately.
Her answer: No can do. Pens OUT of company ink.
Depends on the size of the company, but in general, sleeping with the man is not good.
Her answer: We're all a bunch of liars.
Plus, minus whatever - it's all an 'interpretation' right?
Her answer: Leave it natural.
I mean, unless you're sasquatch, just be you; I'll find out eventually anyway.
Her answer: Bigger than me.
If only for achieving good spooning technique.
Her answer: Yes, it’s like understanding another universe.
If someone hasn't yet recognized the significance of this, they're stuck in the dark ages.
Her answer: Doesn’t matter
Whenever it gets to that point do it - get aways are some of life's great treats.
Her answer: Stubble
Not too baby not to animal...juuuuuust right.
Her answer: Boxer briefs
I have a theory that men who wear boxer briefs just tend to have better style all around.
Her answer: Once we’re ‘serious’
Sexual history is almost irrelevant to me until I absolutely have to know.
Her answer: No
I like to go into a date with a relatively clean slate; real relationships are about raw chemistry.
Her answer: Better be fully stocked
Or at least a little more than condiments.
Her answer: 1st
Leaves more for the bedroom. ;)
Her answer: Somewhat
At least it assures me they have two working eyeballs.
Her answer: Less cool
Whatever—just don't try to be a crooner.
Her answer: 6 months
Any earlier and you'll all hate each other in a month...not worth it.
Her answer: Indispensable
The world might be a big place...but small places count too!
Her answer: Never
Do I really need to defend that?
Her answer: Hilarious
Believe it or not: he gets women.
Her answer: Books
Honestly we should all challenge our noggins with good old fashioned reading.
Her answer: Nope.
Most is OK but not all... the world is a big big place....
Her answer: Seriously?
Seriously?
Her answer: Don’t care
It's all going to the same place right?
Her answer: Once a week
I guess that's what I'd like to think...but daily is probably more realistic.
Her answer: Silliness
I get it but it depends on the situation.
Her answer: Never! Keep it in confidence.
Dudes should be dudes, keeps them real.
Her answer: First come, first served.
Equality is the name of the game...but don't slack off being a gentleman. :)
Her answer: Get thee to an ATM after a massive apology.
Whatever, it happens!
Her answer: Offer to take them out for dinner post-honeymoon.
Good food, good drinks, good friends—better than most presents, I'd say.
Her answer: A night on the town.
What is a birthday if you can't share it with all your friends?
Her answer: Brunch!
Yum..foooooood.
Her answer: Yes
I'll find out eventually....
Her answer: True
Too many experiments to tell—just know its a proven fact.
Her answer: 2 good
“Quality not Quantity”.
Her answer: No, why have the extra baggage?
Mostly for security and aesthetic pleasure. :)
Her answer: Yes. But they’re just using you.
Real women don't do shots.
Her answer: Liquor, straight up
Class please. That's all we ask.
Her answer: Club soda, stat!
At least treat the stain before you forget about it!
Her answer: Overdress
Sweatpants make me gag.
Her answer: Every time
Weird for kissing...beards on the other hand are more than OK.
Her answer: Of course
It reflects passion. Artists have passion and executives have passion...
Her answer: Insane
Only at Halloween please.
Her answer: No
Multi-talented is more valuable than a lofty title.
Her answer: Equal
Or higher...mostly for THEM. Men like to feel like MEN.
Her answer: Yes, it’s a must.
No one likes a robot.
Her answer: Out
Like I said, I don't want the dude's pants to be too small for me.
Her answer: Put together a list of your recent accomplishments.
Just be honest, confident and back it up.
Her answer: Bring friends to make things more comfortable.
Spread the network and make it friendly so it's bearable.
Her answer: Blazer
It's all about vertical balance.
Her answer: Out
Ouch.
Her answer: It’s an absolute must
Not anything flashy, but guys should know sweatpants are just wrong.
Her answer: In person
The more personal the better...and if not in person, then by phone.
Her answer: Absolutely not.
In the end, he'll side with his mom. So it's doomed from the start.
Her answer: Romantic
Wouldn't you love an anonymous lover?
Her answer: No
The way you see someone depends on your relationship with them.
Her answer: Smart
If you're not smart, you're just stupid.
Her answer: Taller than me
I don't like it when my pants are too small for the guy I'm dating.
Her answer: Not a problem
Something about wisdom that makes sense here....
Her answer: One day
Immediately makes you look desperate.
Her answer: Two
It's the only way to know if you want the third date.
