Let’s face it: no matter how many guys in real life let us down, there is a certain group we can always rely on– TV characters! If you thought you were going to spend Valentine’s Day alone, think again! Instead spend 2/14 with these five TV heartthrobs that would make for the perfect Valentine!

 
Jim Halpert
We believe that a piece of our hearts will always belong to Jim. Classic white button-down, witty charm, and boyish good looks? That’s a recipe for perfection. If Jim and Pam weren’t already so darn cute, I would try to get to Jim faster than you can say “Scranton.” The adorable faces he makes at the camera make me a giddy, swooning mess, and there’s nothing I’d more than love to be his accomplice on an Operation: Prank-Dwight mission.
 
Winston

All bets are off when a man isn’t afraid to belt out the Wicked soundtrack in the car. He secured our soul-mate-ship when he revealed that he too believes that Saturdays are for sleeping. Grab me some bunny slippers and pronounce me Mrs. Winston! We also can’t ignore when he tapped into his sensitive side when Jess was on her “mensies.”  We also have a feeling he smells delicious from all of those bubble baths he has taken!

 
Nate
Greetings Upper East Siders; we love Nate Archibald so much, we’ll forgive his bad middle part at the beginning of Gossip Girl. In his debonair suit, with a seductive jawline, and a tumbler of scotch in hand, he would sweep us away to some luxurious event on the UES showing off all his money. But be careful N, you can’t buy this collegiette’s love. You know you love me, XOXO Gossip Girl.
 
Ron Stoppable
Yes, we realize he’s a cartoon, but we would trust anyone with our life if he fights crime, has a somewhat cute naked mole-rat, and has a diet that consists of just psuedo-Mexican food. Were we the only ones frustrated that Kim Possible didn’t recognize his potential early on? When someone’s motto is “never be normal,” you know you have a keeper. Come hang with us Ron, we’ll share a grande Bueno Nacho naco with you.
 
Seth
With his curly head of hair and coining new phrases such as “Christmakkah,” Seth Cohen is the king of adorkable chic. He’s already melted our hearts, so we wouldn’t even mind snuggling up and reading all of his nerdy comic books with him. We would also take into account that he may be a bit shy to ask us out at first, but we know the line that will help him out: Confidence Cohen!
 
Honorable Mention:
Manny
We feel as though Manny would plan a more romantic evening for two (complete with a poetry reading, candlelit dinner and salted chocolate milk), than most guys at UT, but he’s under the age of 18, so he gets honorable mention.
