Potential problems: Another addict in recovery, this can go either way. If Holder keeps a handle on his demons this shouldn't be an issue. Also, he smokes a lot but nobody's perfect.

Neal Sampat on The Newsroom

neal-sampat-1024 — Neal Sampat on The Newsroom/HBO

Boyfriend attributes: He's smart and cute and he stands up for good things and talks really fast. Yes, he live in the world of The Newsroom so it is a stupid, misogynistic, idealized world of fake two years ago, but in that world he's about as good as it gets. Plus he's great at the internet and cares about Occupy Wall Street!

Potential problems: Like I said, he exists in the universe of the worst show on TV so that could a deal breaker.

Vampire Eric Northman on True Blood

Eric-Northman-true-blood-14788002-1920-1080 — Vampire Eric on True Blood/HBO

Boyfriend attributes: He's a very old vampire so he knows a LOT of stuff (romantic stuff). He can literally fly! Since he's immortal, he's a big risk taker and once he drinks your blood and you drink his, he will know when you are in trouble and and come rescue you from werewolves or whatever you need rescuing from. On the other hand, he totally respects strong, powerful women so he will allow you to rescue him from time to time too.

Potential problems: He doesn't eat food so that makes dinner weird. Also, he can't walk in the sun which sucks if you are into romantic Mexican beach vacations. And there isn't much long-term potential because after awhile, you'll either get old and he'll move on to a new human model or he'll decide he wants to make you into a vampire too. So decide now, are you ready to live for all eternity?

The Cute Nice Prison Guard (John Bennett) on Orange is the New Black

Boyfriend potential: He has a pretty okay job (prison guard! benefits!). He served his country in the military. He's missing a leg so he knows about hardship and overcoming things. He's willing to overlook a lot for love, including incarceration and entrapment. He writes cute notes!

Potential problems: He isn't exactly a genius at birth control, which is pretty un-adorable. His missing leg doesn't represent some heroic action, just an accidental infection. He may only be into girls in prison which means you will have to get into prison to make this relationship work.

John Oliver on The Daily Show

Boyfriend potential: Well he's doing an EXCELLENT job in the big boy seat that Jon Stewart left for the summer. He has a British accent which means he will talk about "snogging" you instead of making out which is worth 100 points. He knows a lot about current events so your parents will be impressed. He's tall.

Potential problems: He's going to have to give the seat back to Jon Stewart sooner rather than later so you will no longer be dating The Most Important Guy On TV. Also, while he is a character on a TV show, he's also a real person and I think he's married, so that could get messy.

So who's your summer TV boyfriend? Also, what about the girlfriends of summer TV? Tell me in the comments!
