Sometimes you just wish some characters could be real.

You know the show is good when there is at least one character you can consider perfect dating material. Whether they're cute and funny or hot and assertive, these characters will have you thinking about them the whole time you're assuring someone that you're watching the show “for the plot.”

Here are the top 5 male characters who stole viewers' hearts on screen and would totally do the same in real life.

Sam Evans – Glee

Like everyone else on the show, Sam has had his own eyebrow-raising moments, but it's hard to deny that he's very dreamy. Extremely talented, kind, outgoing... and have you seen those ABS? We can't blame anyone for falling in love with him and doing the same if only he existed.

Kevin Ball – Shameless

If there's one person you know you can trust, it's Kev. Will he do everything you ask him to? Probably not. Can he keep a secret? He struggles with that too. But he always acts from the best possible place and with the best intentions, which makes him worth all the trouble you might put him through.

Chandler Bing – Friends

Even though we should cry our eyes out for Joey, no one wants a man-child anymore. A man who is in touch with his sensitive side, has a great sense of humor and is not afraid to admit his mistakes? Monica definitely hit the jackpot by securing Chandler's hand in marriage.

Aidan Shaw – Sex and the City

As much as fans were rooting for Mr. Big to stay in Carrie's life, there was actually a much better man to spend time with. Aidan was everything Mr. Big wanted to be: considerate, emotional, and there for Carrie when she needed it most. Too bad things ended the way they did, but any viewer would be happy to choose him if he were real.

Marshall Eriksen – How I Met Your Mother

Another perfect guy from the perfect relationship. While some viewers fell head over heels for Barney, Marshall was the one to watch. Like everyone else, he has his flaws and can be childish at times, but that's what you expect from a young adult. Besides, life would be way too boring without it.
