- MLs need to leave unexpectedly for an extended period of time for reasons beyond their control and return with plans to start romantic relationships with the FL
- MLs are both not talkative but know how to say the right thing and take care of business
- FLs have different personalities but both are mature and very supportive of their friends and family while pursuing their dreams
