If you are an avid fan of New Girl, you are probably obsessed with Jake Johnson’s hilarious character, Nick Miller. The more I watch the show, the more Nick seems like the perfect guy; not only is he passionate and kind, but he also has a nonchalant personality and an adorable face. Need more convincing? Her Campus UCSD takes you through a list of “23 Reasons Why Nick Miller Is the Perfect Boyfriend”.
1. He does what he loves.
He got into law school, passed the Bar exam, and is a qualified lawyer. Despite the conventional choice, he followed his passion and became a bartender. Nothing is hotter than a man who does what he loves and isn’t a slave to money.

Trying to eat less donuts? Sex and sandwiches? We are on the same page.

Nick will be there for you whether you are having an existential crisis or simply need someone to talk to on a bad day. He’ll hold your hand and cry with you.
