How does your character go about finding romance? What sage advice would they have if asked, even if they have no idea what they're talking about and are desperately making it up on the spot?

"Attachment leads to fear, fear leads to hate, hate leads to... are you listening to me? Don't go pursuing romance, just don't, it's not... Anakin. Stop. No, this isn't a good... Anakin! WHAT DID I JUST SAY?"

Ahsoka ignores it....even when it's hitting her on the head.

Sabine is too busy.

Jessica eventually tries a dating app, which has mixed results. Then she just ends up with a coworker.

Tybalt pines for a year or so, ends up in mortal peril, confesses his feelings, and gets a surprise when they survive and she is interested too....once she's had time to process.

~19 years: This is not something that interests me, I'm not feeling it and have other things I want to prioritize, I'm not in a good position to be that for someone and won't be for a long time if ever, I'll always have to put my mission firs-

1.5 months after recruiting a mysterious stranger: oh god damn it

(editing to add, the first time we ever threaded Kanan and Hera we were really approaching it like we didn't know if they were supposed to be in a relationship or were ever going to be in one and saying 'we're not going to approach it like that, anything like that will happen slowly' and then like ten tags in it was 'STOP THAT, STOP THAT RIGHT NOW YOU TWO!!!!!')

(Thinks about the many, many years of mutual pining with his coworker/rival)

"...Just don't wait too long."

Zuko: Emotionally unavailable. He is in no emotional place to romance, and is beset by duty for his potential marriage. Honestly he's checked out of the whole thing. Honestly he'd be like "that's rough buddy" about any romantic conflict you might present and ask for advice, but he'd had nothing to draw from on experience.

Zenigata: Zenigata is in love with the chase, and with his quarry. He married, divorced, and during his long periods away, he had two affairs. His advice would be 'know what you really want in life' and 'don't do anything rash,' and also: 'wear a goddamn condom and don't knock up your girlfriend if you're not ready to get hitched.' Sage advice from somebody who is a total romantic fuck up and knows he should not be anyone to look to for a positive romantic role model.

Lan Zhan: No advice. Dead eyed stare upon asking. Solely devoted to his soulmate. Wears widower white upon love's death, despite they were never married. But when he gets WWX he's very much Ride or Die, doesn't want anyone else, any is completely monogamous, and communicates his feelings more openly.
