how easily does your muse fall in love?

Makoto wears his heart on his sleeve and overall is just a pretty emotional guy, I don't think that it's difficult for Makoto to develop a crush on someone. For example he had a strong crush on Maizono, and he only ever admired her from a distance-- they never interacted when they attended the same school despite mutual interest, partly because there wasn't a chance to and their different social standings. For what it's worth, I think that Makoto also couldn't muster the courage to approach at the time. But progressing onward from crushes I wouldn't say that Makoto is the kind of person who falls in love super quickly/easily-- for him, it's more steady than anything else. No matter how much he has a crush on someone, and no matter how much he gets flustered around them, he isn't going to go to the next step without a bond and that can take some time to build but he will make that sincere effort to connect and understand! Of course certain events, who the person is, and the nature or circumstances of their relationship could speed up or slow that process down, I'm just talking generally. He's also an incredibly accepting, open-minded, and selfless person, so I don't want to boil down him having a crush as just physical attraction. There's more to him developing a crush than just seeing an attractive woman in a vacuum. It can take time in and of itself.

I need to replay RF3 Now, for this guy... It's no secret he's very easygoing! At least normally. If Evelyn's any indication Gaius has the tendency to spill the proverbial spaghetti IMMEDIATELY in the matters of romance, so in the first place if he were to score a date he'd be flustered for most of it. Incredibly so. Comedically so. Since he is aware of this, I imagine that Gaius would try to plan out dates at least to calm his nerves-- the certainty of what would come next could help him out. But really, I think that he'd have the most success if he managed to just go with the flow and be his usual, chill self. At the same time, how flustered he gets is really endearing all on its own... And I don't think a date at the forge would be at all successful with how absorbed in his practice he gets.

...Here's hoping he has some luck with Evelyn in the future! The dialogue after Micah gets married shows there's hope for him yet!
