Jessica Day dated a lot of, mainly brunette, men on the hit TV show New Girl. With a new season currently airing, my co-workers and I heavily debated which of these New Girl's guys we liked the best, and thought was the best for Jess. Opinions flew and things got a little heated: Russel was mature, but Nick was funny. Who can forget the ever so attractive Ryan, or the come back kid Sam? Since I always have to have the last word, I decided to settle this argument with a definitive ranking of (who I think are) Jess's best boyfriends.
7. Gavin
Otherwise known as Mr. Schmidt, I wanted to put Gavin in here because if not for the gross factor of him being Schmidt's father, I think him and Jess could have been a good couple. He was goofy and charming in the same nature of Jessica's usual prospects, and he has an abundance of pink wine (her favorite).
6. Spencer
We all hated Spencer because he broke Jess's heart and tried to keep her stuff. But without Spencer, the Loft would not have bonded over Jess demanding her stuff back. Plus the stories she sobbingly told of their relationship sounded, if not odd, really fun.
5. Robby
I know that Jess and Robby haven't dated, but it sure seems like the show is heading in this direction. I don't fancy the idea of Jess and Robby together because 1) he was in love with CeCe, and 2) HE WAS IN LOVE WITH CECE. You just don't have romantic feelings for your bestfriend's ex, no matter how good you sound dueting on Toto's "Africa."
4. Paul
Paul was funny, Paul was sweet, Paul was just like Jess...but honestly, Paul also creeped me out. He ranks low because he ended up marrying an Asian version of Jess and becoming a party clown, but we still love him for his ability to make anything a musical.
3. Russel
I loved Fancyman Russel. He was older, wiser, a father, and charming-- the rock to Jess's whimsical hot air balloon. If not for his relationship with Jess being the first time he tried to date again, I think these two really could have had something. Not to mention he's a silver fox, and liked Jess for all of her quirks.
2. Sam
You know what they say, love isn't about feeling it's about timing. Sam and Jess really could have had it all: he is a pediatric doctor, she is a teacher, they're both funny. Sam is one of Jess's only boyfriends who seemed to have his life completely together, and I wish they could have made it work. I mean come on, he sang Selena Gomez in his truck! Sadly, Sam basically leaves Jess twice due to...
1. Nick
Nick Miller. An old man with a 'youth's' thought process, he and Jess have a complicated history. I'm a big hopeless romantic though, and even though I kind of (shamefully) like his and Regan's relationship, I'm ultimately rooting for Jessica and Nick to get back together. I mean they both think that someone got that sex mug out of the trash, so there's totally romantic tension left over. Plus Nick's novel is finished and he's proving how "adult" he can actually be! He's finally ready for you, Jess!
