Justin is 27 and an insurance agent and is out to his parents. He is only in his second relationship, his first one having lasted five years. Despite being in his late twenties, Justin is remarkably idealistic, believing in the virtues of monogamy. This he holds in distinction against a 'scene' which he thinks is dominated by fatalistic myopia and short-term gratifications.

Justin is attractive, although his is a beauty that is gradually revealed, not instantly announced. One could describe this quality as something that 'grows on you'.

The failure of his first relationship was a disillusioning blow. However, Justin has managed to guard himself against jadedness: he sees his prior relationship as a rehearsal for his "real" one with Justin. Justin met Wai Kit online and Wai kit's teasing inaugural first-liner was: "You really believe there's such a thing as the long haul?"
