Let's start with Brock.

Dating Eddie is like dating any guy. Well, not just ANY guy, but you get the idea. Eddie smells like coffee, and when he isn't arguing with tall, dark and smelly, can be very charming. A level of wit even Peter picked up on, as they used to be best buddies.

He knows what you'd ACTUALLY want, as far as gifts go. It's his main source of affection, outside of compliments he'd stumble out trying to maintain a mature demeanor and physical touch.

Puts the "Protector" right behind "Lethal." Eddie will personally go out of his way, symbiote or no symbiote, to keep you safe. Even if it means outright putting himself in harm's way. That's where Venom typically comes in handy, but still.

Eddie's the one you would want to take you to a pizza place down the street after a long day of submitting not-as-good photos of Spider-Man and trying to convince Jonah to give him jobs that DON'T involve the wall crawler, since that's Pete's joint.

A genuinely good, reliable man.

... But isn't there ALSO somebody you forgot to ask?

And yes, Venom is a very important factor in all of this. Hell, he's the main reason I bet you even read this far.

Venom is possessive of Eddie. Sees him as his ONLY true host, going so far as rejecting and killing other hosts he doesn't deem as worthy, or Eddie-caliber.

That being said, he's VERY friendly to people that he likes. A very good example is Ms. Chen from the movies, who Eddie very regularly sees and even waves at her when he isn't in his full, complete form.

So, you. Reader, y/n, person judging my writing. Let's say Venom likes you. No, REALLY likes you.

Aside from the freaky, monster fucker reasons people like Venom for (great time to admire the 19 inches of venom that sony blessed us with, I'm of course talking about the statue), Venom is VERY silly. He'd come up with silly names for you, as he does for everyone he comes to like (SPIIIDEERRR-WUUUSSSSS).

You could show him all around NYC, and he could show YOU all around NYC. Taking you all the way up the empire state, ensuring that he's not gonna let you fall, just so you can see the skyline. Greatest view in the city.

Venom sucks at gifts, often opting to get you something HE thinks is cool, without really considering if you would share the sentiment or not. He's also TERRIBLE with compliments, often sounding more like veiled threats, like how he could just eat you up.

Nice and sweet from Grandma. Not exactly from an 8 foot behemoth with teeth.

He will kill for you. Lord, he would kill for you. Brutally, too. You could sick him like a dog at someone you kinda just don't like, and if Eddie isn't there to put some sense into the two of you that person is toast.

Often times, people see Venom and Eddie as a struggle just to get you, fighting between each other for your love. I don't think that's the case. If Edddie likes you, and Venom likes you, they will both do everything in their power to make sure you not only feel loved and appreciated and special, but that you stay safe.
