6 T.V. Show Characters I Wish Were Real

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at ASU chapter.

I don’t know about you but I’ve been guilty in having the slightest (or not so slightest) crush on fictional T.V. characters. From Damon on the Vampire Diaries going all killer-vamp on us, to Nick from New Girl crying over his ex Caroline — I must say, these guys are pretty good looking. So in honor of those who have crushes on television hotties, like myself, I’ve compiled a list of six guys who should exist in real life and mention why we’d be a match made in heaven!

Taking the sixth spot is Leonard Hofstadter from the Big Bang Theory. This guy is super smart and frankly, I’m quite intimidated by how smart he is but, if I were to ever met him I think we’d get along really well! I mean, we both like comic books, we both wear glasses, and we both like video games. Do I hear love at first sight?

Finn Hudson from Glee is fifth on my list. This boy can sing, dance, and has good intentions at heart. If Finn were real, I can definitely see us having a future together. We’d have one big family, a cat, dog, maybe a fish, and three kids. Too bad he’s still smitten with Rachel Berry. A girl can still dream right?

The fourth person on my list is Ben from Parks and Rec. Okay, now this guy is just too precious. He’s a total softy when it comes to his friends, is super awkward yet smart, has a thing for Star Wars, and is willing to try new things. What more can you ask for in a guy?  

Third on my list is Ezra Fitz from Pretty Little Liars. Oh my gosh, he is just gorgeous! He has everything going on for him. He has a great smile, is very romantic, and he’s a hot teacher! I mean come on, fantasy dream number one here, ladies. Ezra, I know Aria broke your heart in the season finale (spoiler alert) but it’s okay; I’m here to take care of you. Call me!

Second on my list of fictional characters is Damon Salvatore. I would just love to sink my teeth into him – no pun intended. He can definitely nail down the whole bad boy image and is one of a few guys who can actually pull off wearing eyeliner. Not bad, not bad at all. I know you are still hung over Elena, but really Damon, it’s me you should be with. I’ve been there for you since season one! Did I mention he has crystal blue eyes?

Finally, my number one guy on this list is the one and only Nick Miller. He captured my heart in New Girl with his famous turtle face and super girlish screams. Although he may be single, he might not be come the season finale because I think he and Jess (his roommate/best friend) might FINALLY get together! So even though he’s my number one guy, I’ll let him off the hook with this one because I totally ship Nick and Jess.
