All of life's problems can easily be solved through a good DCOM parable. Struggling to meet your parents' expectations and forge your own path? Check out Eddie's Million Dollar Cook-Off. Did your best friend start dating someone who is a total monster? Mom's Got a Date with a Vampire is basically a how-to-guide to protect your friends and family against sucky suitors.

Luke In Halloweentown
You are attracted to the dark side. Deep down, you know beneath their tough exterior, these guys are giant marshmallows seeking love and approval. Their bad actions aren’t caused by character flaws but instead reflect a deep-seeded lack of self-confidence. You feel an innate need to reform these bad boys, which could cause strain in the relationship. As long as you learn to accept your mate for who they truly are, you can expect a happily ever after.
Brad Rigby In Cadet Kelly
You have a thing for authority figures and a man in uniform sets your heart a flutter. Men who follow rules excite you. You might be a bit of a rule breaker yourself, but this will keep things in the relationship spicy.

You are constantly falling madly in love with people you barely know. It might be the local Starbucks barista or the stunning beauty three cubicles down from yours at work. You are attracted to someone who is well dressed, has perfect hair, and exudes an aura of confidence. You should throw a party and casually invite your crush. They will be intrigued by your brazenness.

It is important to remember to still have fun with your significant other, though. All work and no play makes you are really boring partner.

Greg In Zenon: Girl Of The 21st Century
