Get the potayto tomahto mug.A Tomasso is an old-world Italian gentleman who will open and hold the door for you without a second thought to it. He has a heart of gold and a smile that can kill. You can ask anything of him as long as it doesn't threaten him or anyone he loves or holds dear. Don't get on this guys' bad side though, you will find yourself in a very bad place.
He likes cars and nature, and a favorite color is green.
He is a gentleman at a gentleman's best.
Many females should want to know a Tomasso, for people like them are rare.

Meaning: A Twin
Variation of Thomas
Ranked 506 in the top 1000 given names for births in the 1990's.
He is: very attractive, extremely funny, a smart person (although others may not think so), and handsome.
He: is very considerate of those that he loves, makes me smile so much that my jaw will start to hurt, speaks his mind and states everything clearly (and i like that), is very loud, can make me cry, has a tendency to get mad quite easily from time to time (it's okay), can't get enough of that music, won't get out of my head, and probably thinks I'm an idiot for typing all of this up on Urban Dictionary.
I: really really like him a lot, like it when he gives me hugs (maybe more than like) (and especially when he squeezes me real tight), usually have trouble trying to stop myself from thinking about him, like it when he calls me unexpectedly, like listening to him, like walking next to him (LOL), just like being with him (too many likes!), remember watching Halloween and those other scary movies during October (TRICK OR TREAT B****) and how it sucked that they never said it right, used to have about seventy AIM chats saved with him (i know that's crazy), miss him when he's not at school (even just for one class), always talk about him to my girl Julie (and always hesitate because I don't want to annoy her), liked it when he came over to my neighborhood, wonder if he ever even thinks about me, always look forward to seeing him, can be really shy around him, know one day he'll see this, and I like going places with him and Julie (even though we bore him).
I just really like him, a lot. Maybe even more than he knows. And I know once I send this and read over it I'll figure out something that I forgot to list and get worked up about it, haha, and so mad that I didn't put it. But you know what? I could always tell him.
And - Tomas, if you do ever see this... I love you. :\
