Like many other Purebloods, Dorian wished to get married, but he had a cold personality and his ideas about the world were too strange, and harked back too much to the mentality of long-gone times, to be reassuring. In another era, Dorian would have been the best match for any pureblood woman, but he had had the misfortune of being born into a society that had changed so much it had turned him into a misfit. However, loneliness didn't seem to bother him and perhaps had never even entered his mind. Scorpius was convinced that Dorian preferred his freedom to any hot girl who could wait for him in his bed.
