That said, what I AM seeing a lot of in this thread is people naming attractive actors/actresses instead of dateable fictional characters, and I think it's important to separate the two (I commented as much re: someone mentioning Sansa).
I can't answer for TabulaRasa, but the Gilbert Blythe I mentioned is from the Anne of Green Gables books, not the TV series. I didn't see the series until later, after I knew the books inside and out.

I wasn't talking about you or Tabula either In fact, I was simply agreeing with Tabula about the benefits of picking literary characters because then it's easier to separate the character from the actor.
Sherlock Holmes would be a terrible boyfriend, IMO. He's a drug addict, for one, and he's misanthropic with a superiority complex and also practically asexual.
Yap. Plus, some people believe he is gay. That he and Dr. Watson were lovers, LOL. But I don't care like I said his mind, his genius, his deductions are perfection.
Also I have not seen any actors that resemble the one I created in my mind. So I really don't fantasize on who portrayed Sherlock. I especially loathe Robert Downey's Sherlock. That's not Arthur Doyle's Sherlock at all!
Although the new Brit Sherlock played by Benedict Cumberbatch is also not Doyle's Sherlock, I actually like it.
I have been in love with Sherlock since my cousin let me borrow his Sherlock book series. That's more than a decade ago.
Oh I forgot my first BF was Voltes V:
Ya, up to now he didn't know we were in a relationship.
Aiden from SATC. Good with his hands, romantic within reason, and so handsome. Definitely fictional.
Along those lines I'd have to say Jackson Brodie from Kate Atkinson's series of books. He's written with all the qualities that are like catnip to women: noble, intelligent, sexy, tough, yet sensitive and thoughtful, respectful of women and children, etc. (And it didn't hurt that in the TV miniseries he was played by Jason Isaacs.)
