* TwiceShy: Early on, his self-esteem was so low that he couldn't believe he and Megan could ever become a couple, to the point where a fantasy about the two of them getting together [[https://xkcd.com/429/ ended]] with her concluding that it couldn't ''possibly'' ever happen in real life and must be a fantasy (and, rather than simply accept death [[DreamApocalypse when said fantasy ended]], ''burning down the whole world''). He was unaware that she actually [[https://xkcd.com/642/ felt]] [[https://xkcd.com/817/ the same way]], but was just as shy about the whole thing as he was. They did, however, ultimately overcome it and get together.
