I just watched The O.C. - The Rescue (Episode 1.08). Ryan (Benjamin MacKenzie) is such a gentleman. He's the consummate bad boy, and yet with Marissa (Mischa Barton), he's sweet, gentle, kind, patient, understanding and... still beneath it all, he projects this tough guy, bad boy kind of charm. Tonight's episode was so good that I fell in love with him several times over.

It certainly helps that he's not at all bad looking and that he has this puppy dog look that just tugs at your heartstrings.

I want him to be my boyfriend. Sigh.
