Anywayz, "dou" literally means "how", I believe.
"Anata, dou?" is how I usually hear it when they translate 'what do you think'. Then "anata wa dou" (or 'kimi wa...' in this case) I usually see translated as Pepsi showed: "how are you".
I don't personally understand the nuance of that one, but that's how I usually hear it :P .

Gotcha. Thanks!
Fortunately, there is one woman in this world who can control me.
Unfortunately for you, she is not here.
