Between its clashes, the relationship was shown to be quite laid back and not traditionally romantic: in "Sappy Anniversary", Tom said he liked this about the relationship, that neither was going in for big gestures and they were happy to be lazy. (Ironically, that was the one time she ''was'' hoping for a gesture.) Usually, the two would hang out at his house or hers, making sarcastic comments about things. In "[[Life in the Past Lane]]", both of them were bemused and snarky over the retro scene and the elaborate dates Jane's [[Nathan|then boyfriend]] was taking her on. In "[[Fizz Ed]]" and "[[The Story of D]]", however, Tom pushed Daria into taking action on things. |

MTV's [ "It Takes Two to Tangle]" feature summed up the pairing thusly: "They have a healthy sense of boundaries, probably due to the fact that hers are extra-thick and lustrous. His family background puts him at risk for hyper-exclusivity." |

It is not clear how far Daria and Tom went physically in their relationship, just that no intercourse was had. (This gap led to some speculation in fan fiction, and produced some pornographic fan art.) In "[[My Night at Daria's]]", it came out that Tom and Daria had discussed sex before and that Tom had backed off early on after Daria said she wasn't ready; he still carries condoms with him 'just in case', and was annoyed when Daria got in a dig at him for it, pointing out he was being responsible. He was ''very'' eager to have sex when she raised the idea again but when she was unable to go through with it, he made it clear he didn't view this as a relationship killer. |
