Byronic Hero
 One Day / int_1fd2efc9
comment
Byronic Hero: Dex. Underneath his rather shallow and hedonistic behaviour, he's a pretty troubled and flawed young man, and suffers internal conflict. He's still a good man deep down, and ultimately understands he has genuine feelings only for Emma; they eventually decide to go living together. Of course, he becomes completely depressed when Emma dies, and the trope is played even more straight.

Ladykiller in Love: Eventually, Dex. He develops genuine romantic feelings for Emma and they plan to go living together. She tragically dies, though..

comment
Intimate Lotion Application: When Emma and Dexter go to the beach together, he offers to rub sunscreen on her back, and while she accepts, it's clear the act makes them both feel the sexual tension between them despite their agreement to go on the trip as friends.

Artistic License: Dex lost his job as a video game presenter in the movie because he is over 30 and considered too old for the job. Anyone remotely familiar with the gaming world would know that the average age of gamers is 35, and gaming Youtuber who are over 30 years old (the late The Cynical Brit and James Rolfe are just some examples) are just as popular as anyone else.

Star-Crossed Lovers: Sort of. Their timing is off, and often when one is single the other is not, but also they both need to go through a significant amount of Character Development before being mature enough to handle their own relationship.

Romantic False Lead: Several. Ian and Sylvie are the most prominent, as the love feelings aren't genuine. Ian in particular is a hopeless mismatch between him and Emma.
