Fitzwilliam Darcy, Gentleman?

The guy you love to hate, at first. Once you see inside him and see who he really is you can't help but love him. He's not a romantic, but he knows how to love. Mr. Darcy is proud in the beginning but once Elizabeth Bennett enters his life he softens up, especially to her. Fitzwilliam Darcy would do anything for Elizabeth Bennett but from a distance. He wants to help her but he doesn't want her to know it is him that is giving the helping hand. He loves her from a fair till he can not handle the pull of his heart any longer. His waiting is what makes their story because his taking his time to really express his love gave her time to realize he was more then what she had pictured him to be. It goes to show you that you can't judge a book by it's cover and you can't judge someone by your first meeting. He is the guy that is way out of her league but who falls in love with her and she for him. Their love story is hope for all the hopeless romantics. Maybe even I can fall in love with someone who is out of my league.

Rhett Butler Southern Gentlemen?

I'll never forget the first time I was exposed to "Gone With the Wind". I heard about it before but had no clue what is was. I was flipping channels one night and come across it, right at the scene where Rhett is standing at the bottom of the stairs watching Scarlett coming down. After that I was a goner. I was a forever fan and Rhett Butler was just dreamy. Everything he did for Scarlett screamed "I Love You!" But did she see that? He swept her off her feet (literally) and yet it took him leaving for her to finally realize she loved him. What woman wouldn't want a man that would give her everything she ever wanted? A mansion? Sure its yours. Thousands of dollars of clothes? Sure its your too. Rhett Butler was the perfect mix of southern charm, sex appeal, and arrogance. Every woman needs to be told she "needs to be kissed and often" by a guy like that.
