If he wasn’t so much older, I’d date Fox Mulder too. Hey, if I limited it to season one…

Xander Harris from Buffy. He’s adorably goofy.

But, the most infatuated I’ve ever been with a fictional person would have to be Berg from **2 guys and a girl** My god, he was prefect and he wasn’t even real!

- WE just bought the rights to air Felicity and 2 Guys… in syndicate. I’m getting WE. I’m very happy \*

Damn - Loveboats Julie (Lauren Tewes) has already been mentioned… My first choice way back.

I’d date Agent Cooper from Twin Peaks in a heartbeat… Oooh that hair! That trenchcoat!

Fox Mulder…yes, yes…

(There’s something about FBI agents…)

And Capt. Picard…

And Dr. McCoy from the original Star Trek. (Well I would!)

Prince Erik Greystone (from a short-lived tv show from the early 80’s called Wizards and Warriors).

Chris Stevens - the philosopher/artist/DJ of Northern Exposure

Would SNL’s “Mel Gibson - Dream Gynocologist” character count? But he’d probably be too busy with his patients.

I’m sorry, everyone, but Willow has already agreed to renounce lesbianism for me. Well, I wish. Failing that, I’d take Natalie from Sports Night or (and I know this is weird) Laura Petrie from The Dick Van Dyke Show. Not Mary Tyler Moore, 'cause she was definitely looking a little rougher around the edges by the time she got her own show, but Laura… Mmm… Especially in black and white…

But Willow’s still the love o’ my life.

Okay, I’m gonna go out on a limb here and say I’d date Duchovny’s character from Twin Peaks (Agent Dennis “Denise” Bryson) without hesitation. Just, like, a “movie date” though. And maybe black coffee and doughnuts in her apartment afterwards. But that’s it. (I mean, really-- She’s _D.E.A._. Gross.)

Here’s obscure for you:

Money Raspberry Dupree from Gideon’s Crossing.

And Mallory McGarry from the West Wing.

Veronica Hamel’s character “Joyce Davenport” from Hill Street Blues. She had everything my adolescent male brain could have wanted- a little bit older, dark hair and eyes, smart as a whip, would look so hot in one of my dress shirts with nothing else on but a pair of glasses. She could call me “Pizza Man” even though I’m not Italian.

Teri Hatcher’s character from the Seinfeld episode, only because I"m sure that they’re real and magnificant and I’m just dying to nuzzle them.

Can you tell that I have a thing for dark, brunette women?

Jeannie from _I Dream of Jeannie_. As long as I could guarantee she wouldn’t get mad at me, anyway.

And another vote for Mary Ann.

Everyone’s forgetting Tara from \<i\>Buffy!\</i\> When she’s less crunchy, more sparkly, she’s quite the babe and too sweet for words.

And, on the other side of the spectrum, I would like to date Nina from \<i\>24.\</i\> I don’t care if she’s evil. She’s competent, dead sexy, and has a lovely little smirk. We could take over the world together. it’d be great.

I’ve said it before and I am not afraid to repeat myself: If Dr. Cox from _Scrubs_ suddenly appeared in front of my door I’d not even take the time to drop whatever I was holding and be out there in a flash.

If Spike wasn’t available, of course. Ah, those cynical, sarcastical guys…(I’ve said that before as well)

For a low maintenance, comforting date, though, I’d take Max Medina (gone off _Gilmore Girls_ but not forgotten) any second now.

I would say Maggie O’Connell from “Northern Exposure” but I’d wind up dead before my time, so I’ll gladly date Larry Sanders’ personal assistant Beverly.

I’m torn between Carter and Luka on _ER_, but I’d have to say Luka. It’s that Slavic accent, those dark, brooding eyes, that sad expression, that dark hair you just want to run your fingers through…oh yes…

Yet another vote for Lisa from _NewsRadio_.

CIA Agent Sydney Bristow, from _Alias_. Even if it would probably end up getting me killed.

Samantha Stevens from _Bewitched_.
