Dean probably wouldn't show his jealousy dramatically right away. His first instinct would be to act like he was "cool," but the signs appear quickly:
It becomes more provocative.
starts competing for the person's attention
interrupts random conversations just to jump in.
He uses humor to mask irritation.
It becomes more physically attached.
He would have a lot of that energy of:
"Ah, so now you two are best friends? Interesting 😐"
And when jealousy really hits hard, it can become:
impulsive
territorial emotionally
angry without admitting the reason
More sensitive than I'd like to appear.
The problem is that Dean hates appearing vulnerable, so he would try to hide his jealousy behind sarcasm or jokes. Fear of not being taken seriously.
Because he's funny and a party animal, many people only see his superficial side. Deep down, that bothers them quite a bit.
He wants someone to see:
his intelligence
the emotional side
who is he besides being the "popular kid"?
Fear of not being emotionally sufficient.
When he truly loves someone, that fear begins to emerge:
disappoint
not knowing how to deal with feelings
to ruin everything through impulsiveness
Family pressure and the future
Dean also carries expectations tied to money and family. Sometimes he seems too calm precisely because he avoids thinking about the real pressures of his life. (His way of loving someone 🫶)
The most interesting thing about Dean is that he goes from:
Relationships? Nah 😎
to:
"I would literally do anything for that person."
And he realizes this little by little, somewhat desperate and completely in love 😭✨

I would provoke him the whole time.
His flirting is largely based on playful banter. He would tease, make provocative comments, and love to elicit reactions from the person. Not in a cruel way, but in a fun and chemistry-filled way.
I would become extremely attentive.
Even though he seemed distracted, Dean would notice small details:
favorite food
mood swings
things that make a person nervous
music she listens to
silly habits
He's the type who remembers these things without even commenting.
I would always try to make the person laugh.
One of the ways he shows affection is by creating lighthearted moments. If the person is sad, he would probably show up making silly jokes or inventing some distraction just to see them smile.
I would become more physically needy.
Dean seems like someone who's very much into physical touch:
arm on shoulders
long hugs
hands on hips
to casually lean against something all the time
playing by touching their hair or holding their hand
Not in a possessive way, but because he shows affection through closeness. He would be protective without admitting it.
He'd probably pretend he "doesn't care," but if someone hurt the person he likes... then his intense side comes out. Dean has that energy of:
"Only I can annoy her 😒"
I would start prioritizing the person without realizing it.
Even though he's a party animal and chaotic, when he falls in love, his attention completely changes. He'd find excuses to be near her.
send a message out of the blue
appear in the dormitory
Calling someone up for simple things
include the person in his plans automatically
It would gradually reveal its vulnerability.
That's perhaps the biggest difference. Dean usually uses humor as a shield, but with someone important he would start to open up:
fears
insecurities
family pressure
real feelings

Extremely extroverted
Dean is playful, sociable, and always cracking jokes. He talks to literally anyone and is usually the "funny chaotic one" of the group.
Confident and provocative
He knows he's handsome, popular, and talented at hockey, so he has a very self-assured energy. He's always flirting, teasing his friends, and making cheeky comments.
Loyal to friends
Despite his party-boy facade, he truly cares about the people close to him. His friendship with Garrett Graham, Logan, and Tucker is very strong. He's the type who supports and protects his friends without hesitation.
Funny and impulsive
Dean acts a lot on impulse. Sometimes he says or does things without thinking properly, especially when he's excited or trying to hide his feelings.
More sensitive than it seems.
One of the coolest things about him is that, behind his fun personality, there's an emotional and vulnerable side. As the story progresses, you can see that he feels everything very intensely.
Seductive, but not empty.
At first he seems like just your typical "college player," but he ends up showing emotional maturity when he truly likes someone. He learns to be more open and genuine. He has that vibe:
"Chaotic golden retriever"
captain of the mess
A funny friend who brightens up any room.
A popular boy who surprises with his emotional depth.
Style and presence
Dean is usually described as:
smug smile
confident energy
sarcastic humor
physical touch and constant proximity
a provocative, yet warm gaze
