Get the Antonio Rodgers mug.A man from Italian decent with many talents. This person is generally charming, handsome, Intelligent, and purely worth dying for. If he likes a certain girl he will love her immensely from the moment they become friends. An Antonio will most likely have one female friend at a time who is the girl he has his eyes on. Every date seems like a Super Date where everything is so extravagant that you can't help but feel that you're in heaven. If you ever meet an Antonio and wish for things like this and for him to love you back up until the day you die, you have to play your cards exactly right. One wrong step and you're done for. He may be forgiving and allow you a second chance. However, he also might be the kind of person who believes you should treat others how you want to be treated; he wants equality. Most likely he wants equality do to being mistreated greatly in the past and not wanting history to repeat itself. If you do mistreat him, you better run because your life depends on it. He will come after you and make you feel as miserable as you made him feel! Just like a heat seeking missile, he will not loose sight of you. Once he's caught up to you... Well... We all know what happens when heat seeking missiles catch their target... When going into a relationship with an Antonio treat him with all the respect you have and more and you will be greatly rewarded. Choose not to... and fate will decide...
