Dating Wanderer would be an...interesting process.

You would need to have the will and determination, patience akin to that of a saint to deal with the sturdily constructed walls of the traumatized puppet. To weave through each and every words of bitterness that tastes just as bitter as the tea he enjoys so much and truly understand what lies beneath his carefully crafted synthetic skin.

After all, hundreds of years wandering throughout Teyvat and honing the experiences that can be summed into multiple lifetimes, be it violence or other unpleasant things, one would expect that Scaramouche would not be so open to finding new connections in fear of stepping onto old roads or stumbling down into the endless pits of self-hatred which roots from his own naiveté in days of the old; To think that he would be able to live out his life like any other human (which he soon had discovered to not be the case), it would be an underestimation to say that with each and every enjoyment he'd find, the world seems to be keen on throwing things back at him experiences that are worst, twice-fold;

However, if you do manage to worm your way through the narrow cracks of his non-existent heart, one that was broken and mended multiple times over, you wouldn't be immedietly treated with special care or anything as such, atleast not right away. What you would find is not a changed man or anything of that kind. All in all he would remain relatively the same, the sharp-tongued vagrant with a sense of eccentricity.

Wanderer is not a typical lover, it would be a slow process for him to take you into his circle of people who he could spare a glance to care about (which wasn't even alot in the first place). He wouldn't shower you in affections either physical or verbal even if you officially declares your relationship to one another, atleast, not directly.

It would start out with small gestures, the way he'd stand from afar, seemingly paying mind to other things not associated with you, but if you do pay notice, you'd see how he is always lending an extra ears or eyes to look out for you, helping you when you least expects it; He'd be more careful with his wordings around you, so that his already thornful words are but mildly- spiked vines, meant to hide his true intentions whenever he speaks to you, sometimes he'd slip in a teasing comment or two if you pay close attention?

Someone is making you uncomfortable? Oh, suddenly there's a blade of wind passing by which conveniently hits the person in the face and sending them flying through the room, out of your way. Need help with an assignment from the Akademia? He'd pretend to not care about whatever you were working on while also sneakily slipping in hints and clues in between complaints and non-malicious insults over how you are unable to solve such an easy problem before leaving without a word, leaving you confused.

As your relationship progresses, he would be more open to the more typical acts lovers would do while dating. Of course, at first he'd be quite reluctant towards affections that would requires touch due to his own past (that is the violation of his body through the horrific experiments conducted by that madman of a doctor who he will not want to recall the name of lest his unpleasant memories comes flooding back and ruining his mood) and he's not keen on having his relationship displayed to the public, out of concern for your safety, as there will be people who are after him which might try to hurt you.

Sometimes, he'd subtly link his pinky with yours whenever he deems fit, taking your hand and holding it tight if you need to go through a crowd of people in fear of losing track of you (but of course he won't say that out loud to save his already fragile hubris).

There would be more tender moments in your relationship, as his gentler sides shows up whenever you two are alone together. How he'd rest his head on your soft lap and close his eyes as you two rests under the shades, on a sunny day somewhere within the forests of Sumeru, he'd let his walls crumble for just a moment. Your hands running through his beautiful indigo hair while you both enjoy the comfortable silence, no words needs to be exchanged as the mere presence of you is able to bring peace to his phantom heart. Do not tease him on how "cute" he looks or anything as such when his mind drifts off and a smile creeps up on the corners of his lips, or you would taste the feeling of having his hat shoved into you face to shield your vision from his reddened cheeks and grumbling to himself as he storms away.

Wanderer is...not a typical lover, yet he is still prone to the problems one might face in his pursuit of a connection with you.

Due to the multiple times he has formed a bond (be it platonic or familial) and had it cruelly ripped from his grasp. It would only be natural for the abandoned puppet to cling onto you strongly once you have managed to penetrate his defenses, there would be times when he becomes unreasonably envious when you spend a bit too much time away from him or if you pay too much of your attention to someone else; You'd be able to tell whenever he is so by the way he gets a bit needier, how his eyes would stay lock onto your form or a look of displeasure at whatever is keeping your gaze away from him.

And of course, it would be your job as his beloved to reassure that you would be there for him for as long as your relationship remains intact, or until the day that death severs your intertwined fates by the concept of mortality if you are a human.

Hold him within your arms and cherish him, whisper sweet but genuine words to his mechanical ears, let him know that even if this world is cruel, even if it is full of uncertainties, that you'd never leave his side. Wipe away his tears should it falls against his will at his most vulnerable times, when he laments over his past that haunts him every night and the sins that weighs heavy over his shoulders.

To date Wanderer is to mutually be there for him as he does for you, to look out for him even if his words comes out as rough or harsh at the surface level and...

if you do find your way through all those difficulties as expected from this strange bond. It wouldn't be a lie to say that you will have his utmost loyalty and devotion until the day his divine shell that was made to host the heart of eternity gives away to erosion.
