In addition to Bailey Quarters, I should mention a couple more. Amy Allen from _The A-Team_. Gina from _Sesame Street_. ---

**bobkitty** : that is too kind of you, but I would miss Cole too much. Perhaps we could work out a joint custody plan? 🙂 ---

There are many possiblities here, but my answer, hands down, is Paris Gellar, from Gilmore Girls. Had Paris actually gone to my high school, I would have mortgaged my soul for a date with her. I don’t really know why. - FCF ---

Dr. Luka Kovach, from _ER_ Constable Benton Fraser, from _Due South_ Oz, from _Buffy the Vampire Slayer_ Spike, from _Buffy the Vampire Slayer_ Angel, from _Buffy the Vampire Slayer_ (not from _Angel_, though, because Angel’s best when he’s in love) There are many, many more, but I don’t want to embarrass myself by admitting how much TV I actually watch. ---

Oh, come on, **Edwardina** , you are among friends! Regale us with your tales of wishful thinking. I’m about to go on a few more myself… > [@](#): > > **Why A Duck** > Now don’t get me wrong, I had (and probably still have) a huge crush on Sherilyn Fenn, but that Audrey chick was one whacked out girl. If you thread has allowed for “just a lick” flings, that’s one thing, but I’m not sure I’d want to actually date a girl who has all her emotional baggage packed in several large steamer trunks like that. Gah, that’s what I loved about her! When she ended up in Coop’s room and they had a little teary-eyed conversation I thought I was going to murder him for not taking her right then and there in his special-agent arms… _sigh_ Furthermore, for us Scully fans, two episodes kill me with her. The one is where they chase down a guy who can change his face (he was born with a tail) and he ends up impersonating Mulder and tries to hook up with Scully. I would _love_ to sit back and have a series of mundane but somehow deep conversations with her over some red wine. MAN. (get giddy just thinking about it). The other one was a season or so ago, with the Millenium crossover/end-of-the-world stuff. They finished out the episode in a hospitol, watching the ball drop on TV. When it does, Fox leans in and kisses her, then says, “See? The world didn’t end.” _So much meaning there!_ (more giddiness–SHEESH) Ok, calm down. 😃 In addition to those previously mentioned, I would like to add:… I, too, would love to date _Buffy_’s Willow Rosenberg, though pre-“I’m so addicted to witchcraft”. Back in season (3?) when Xander was still dating Cordie and they were sneaking kisses… my favorite Willow so far. And to have met the vamp Willow… oh geez. I’d like to have a few dates with Samantha Carter from Stargate. She needs a good social life. 🙂 I’d be happy to oblige. Mention of Lisa from _Newsradio_… ah! Very nice. You got a little competition here! ---

Mary Ann from _Gilligan’s Island._ Sweet, honest, and good Lord what a looker. Ellie Walker from _The Andy Griffith Show_. Pretty, intelligent, and able to handle any man with equanimity. She reminds me a lot of my wife. ---

**Sam Malone** from _Cheers_. Grrrrrrrowl. **Angel** from _Buffy_, back when he was mysterious, smoldering, tormented…and in shape. 🙂 **That hunky guy** from _CSI_. (Nick Stokes) **Jason Bolt** from _Here Comes the Brides_. (Okay, I’m aging myself here.) He could sure swing an axe. ---

In keeping with the Twin Peaks theme, I always wanted James, Laura’s ex and Donna’s piece on the side. Sweet, sensitive, mysterious, oohh my knees are giving out. I have to second the mention of Ed Stevens. Ed’s always struck me as an adult version of Lloyd Dobbler, and that’s damn near perfect if you ask me. A few more: Josh Lymon Jack McCoy, and of course, Mike Logan I can’t believe nobody’s mentioned Mulder yet. Sure, he’s a little… um… out there, but the passion he has for the truth is a huge turn on! ---

I don’t know much about current TV in Anglophone nations, but I’d love to spend some intimate time with **Seven of Nine** from Voyager. Those guys keep screwing up with her, tripping over themselves and leaving her all by her lonesome in Engineering. But I request it be a long date. She is very bad-ass, and she gets away with wearing high heels. I’m sure they did that to pander to the pre-pubescent fantasies of young male viewers, but it still works for me. Another…well there’s this newscaster in Japan named Yuko Ando. Do newscasters count? She is slick and savvy. I guess I’m into the Robert Palmer Girl look. ---

As a pre-teen/young teen I wanted to date Ricky Schroeder on “Silver Spoons,” and I wanted to be Muffy Tepperman on “Square Pegs.” A few years ago I wanted X-Files’ Fox Mulder and currently would go on a date - or anywhere else - with Buffy’s Spike.
