In love, Paulino doesn't play strange games: he seeks real connection and stability. He is the type who remembers how you take your mate and prepares dinner without being asked. Once committed, he is loyal until the end, although sometimes he struggles to express how much he feels with pretty words.
He looks for a good barbecue or starts fixing something around the house that has been pending for years.
Turning any boring gathering into an interesting and pleasant conversation.
Disorganization and unfulfilled promises; he values a pledged word.
