Ed Westwick, Chuck Bass, whatever you call him. That beautiful face is associated with extreme sex appeal and a true dream man for every girl. Of course this whole article kind of seems insane since Gossip Girl has been over for almost two years, but sometimes as we binge watch old GG episodes on Netflix, we can’t help but wonder what life would be like if we had a real Chuck Bass type of our own. You know, someone with a great patchwork scarf and intense eye contact. Here are some tips to find your own personal Chuck Bass:
1. Don’t try, seriously just don’t. The Blair/Chuck connection was obviously an unexpected plot twist.
2. Go to Shadyside and people watch since that’s basically the Upper East Side of Pittsburgh.
3. Hit up the town and get a little wild. If there’s one thing Chuck Bass can’t resist, it’s a good time! Side note: keep it classy; this is what made Blair stand out amongst all of the other girls Chuck could have had.
4. A real-life Chuck Bass will be mysterious, yet not totally unapproachable. He’s smooth, suave, and gets what he wants. Keep those traits in mind.
5. Make sure he’s actually your type and doesn’t just look like Chuck Bass (we’d actually be really jealous if you found someone that did though!) Chuck & Blair, aka Chair, had an undeniable physical attraction, but the emotional attraction is what made their relationship so powerful.
6. Don’t act like Blair Waldorf because, let’s face facts, nobody can be her anyway.
7. Remember that if he’s not your best friend, he’s probably not your Chuck Bass. “Chair” loved to scheme together, and sometimes even against each other. Because they knew each other’s weaknesses so well, they knew just how to push the other’s buttons.
8. Along with that, they knew each other’s strengths and saw the good in each other as well. Your Chuck Bass will encourage you to be the best version of yourself and support you when you’re feeling down.
9. Lastly, don’t settle if he doesn’t treat you like a princess. Chuck Bass would go to extreme lengths just to make Blair smile. Remember when he rigged the votes at prom so she’d be queen? Awww.
Xoxo, Gossip Girl
