What Your DCOM Crush Says About You

by Maura O'Malley

Disney Channel Original Movies, lovingly nicknamed DCOMs by abbreviation obsessed fangirls, are the gift that keeps on giving to millennials. 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. When your body goes through changes and suddenly you are a mermaid, The Thirteenth Year has got that covered. Any time, place, situation — there's a Disney Channel Original Movie for that, and it's a known fact that someone's favorite DCOM reveals a lot about their personality.

Following this line of logic, it would also make sense that Disney Channel Original Movies can also provide valuable insight into one's love life. The fictional characters liked during the formative years of middle school helps construct adult dating habits. You didn't suddenly start liking bad boys in college. That's a life-long addiction. Ditto, if you constantly fall love with your best friend. These seeds were planted in your mind early on.

So hold on to your Mickey Mouse ears, your favorite DCOM crush is going to reveal a lot about you and your love life.

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.

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.

Shy smart-girls who spend their free time reading and knitting cat sweaters are the ideal girlfriends for you. You are attracted to their intelligence and having cultured conversations is an important part of your romantic relationships. 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
