Alvaro is a self-professed dreamer who claims he needs to be drunk to meet women. He cannot talk to a female when he is totally sober and he generally freezes. He often finds himself unable to think of anything to say to women most of the time. The only reason he has dated women in the past is due to the fact that they approached him. There other times where he has talked himself out of great situations with women because he got too nervous and just couldn't stop talking. He cites specific insecurities that have held him back. Growing up, he was short, and he still sees himself that way (even though he's not). Alvaro often covers his mouth, stutters and bites his nails when he gets nervous around the opposite sex.
