Diego Morales, pt 1

Name: Diego Morales

What do they look for in a person?:
Oh boy does Diego ever have a type. Are you soft-spoken, polite and compassionate with a calm demeanor? Even Diego isn't oblivious to the fact that Tabitha, Cecil and Ravi have a lot of things in common. He looooves that softness and sense of serenity, but I think he also clicks well with people who are a little morose deep down, because so is he.

Really, though, Diego wants someone who makes him feel like a peer and who thinks he's smart and interesting. He pins his ego on what the other person thinks about him, so if they can make him feel good about himself he'll be head over heels in no time.

He also admires people with strong convictions, who are passionate about the things that are important to them, and just generally have a spine. This is because... he does not have much of a spine himself. Related, but he also likes people who are less promiscuous than him, because due to some awesome self-loathing, he tends to associate people who don't have sex as possessing strong moral fiber. This is a stupid, shitty standard he only holds himself to.

What do they find romantic?:
Talking, talking and more talking. Diego likes to express himself verbally, so the primary cornerstone of a romantic relationship with Diego is an interest in long, wordy conversations. This is the ideal kind of attention for him, which can probably become exhausting because he's always looking for feedback in the form of massive emotional conversations. This is also a necessity for being a close friend, but a romance with Diego just won't work if you're not willing to spend a lot of time conversing.

He also values doing things together a lot, and wouldn't be content with having super separate lives. Diego does not value space, to no one's great surprise. He finds hearing people talk about what they love and showing it to him to be very romantic. He also loves outdoorsy activities and thinks hikes and horseback riding and taking in the beauty of nature and other sappy stuff like that to be PEAK ROMANCE. Music is unsurprisingly a big romantic thing for him. Better believe he makes playlists and writes songs about whoever he's dating.

Who do they have a crush on?: Ravi's at the forefront of his mind right now. He's also had passing interest in Zoey, Cricket and Isaiah, and there was the whole Cecil Incident.

Are they seeing someone right now?: After last night's party, he and Ravi are... trying to work something out. All that's certain is that Diego's going to hold off on hookups and making out with people while this gets sorted out, so he's tentatively spoken for.

Diego Morales, pt 2

What are they like in a relationship?:
Gives a lot, but takes a lot too. He's attentive and affectionate, but needy and clingy. Like, wow. So needy. He's an emotional vampire, and if his SO's not willing to do a lot of emotional labor, then dating him is probably kind of overwhelming. He's also melodramatic, anxious and insecure, which means if he thinks their interest is waning he takes it hard. No to mention he's self-destructive and impulsive, so despite all of his dedication and passion, he's not actually all that reliable and fucks up a lot. Forgets promises, accidentally does things you specifically said you dislike, etc. He always feels REALLY BAD afterwards, but it's an uphill battle for him to be good. In the past, he's had a lot of relationships that burned bright and then faded really fast because of this.

However, he's very dedicated to the point of being a little passive. He lets the other person determine the terms of the relationship and bends over backwards to please them. Because of His Type™, he dedicates a lot of time and attention to trying to make their life fun and exciting and entertaining. He's so, so very invested in their happiness and satisfaction. He kind of needs to be told to chill out or he'll work himself into a tizzy and ruin things until he makes himself miserable (see: Tabitha). Diego loves being in love, though, so despite how worked up he gets, he's SO HAPPY being with them. THE HAPPIEST HE'S EVER BEEN.

And of course he wants to talk. He wants your attention. He wants your validation. Diego loves dramatic romantic gestures, which can be big and showy or just small and sappy. He's very into building moods and an aesthetic and doing romantic shit that sounds and looks good because he's a pretentious hipster.

Anything else?: Diego is the sort of guy who would impulsively propose to his high school sweetheart at 19 and suggest they elope. He should absolutely be told 'no'.

it's ok, i think this whole experience has also taught diego that ravi has way more emotional baggage than he ever anticipated so... they're even. (i mean you PROBABLY should've anticipated this from the guy who's told you like three times he's not interested in dating but HEY)

AND RAVI WILL BE VERY LUCKY IF HE NABS DIEGO ♥ ravi is a sucker for dramatic romantic gestures and sounds like he'll be very spoiled with diego ;u; ...also neediness is a good fit with ravi because god knows ravi loves to be needed. PLEASE LET HIM RESCUE YOU. LET HIM SMOTHER YOU WITH WORRY. LET HIM BE YOUR KNIGHT IN SHINING ARMOUR
