Line 86:
Tom is the only character we meet to have actually "dated" Daria, in the sense of having a mutually-understood, ongoing, romantic relationship. Daria described him as "very caring and sensitive in the not-pukey way" in "[[Is It College Yet?]]".
His relationship with Daria was marked by clashes and periods of friction, due to Daria's emotional and intimacy issues: this had been a problem since the start
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.
