6 Reasons Why We Can All Agree Luke Danes Is Bae
Jillian Lorraine

I've convinced myself that watching "Gilmore Girls" is educational. I mean the vocabulary is stellar and so are the life lessons. Basically, if a man came up to me wearing a flannel shirt and baseball cap, while talking about the diner he owned, I would be sold. Not only have we seen Luke grow as a person, but we've watched him evolve into a complete softie.

Remember when Lorelai and Rory walked into Luke's Diner for the first time? They plopped down at their famous table and casually begged for a coffee. If you are anything like me, your first thought about Luke was "Jeez, who peed in his cereal?" From then on who knew we would all fall endlessly in love with him. I mean who am I kidding? The man owns an endless supply of coffee! That's enough to make any girl fall in love.

But in reality, coming up with only six reasons why we love Luke was nothing short of impossible. But here are the contenders!

1. Luke is a father figure for Rory.

Luke is the typical father figure for Rory, especially before Christopher steps into the picture. He reminds Lorelai that no one is good enough to date Rory, even his own nephew Jess. *Hearts start pitter-pattering* Luke even punches Dean aka Mr. Nice Guy. It sounds a tad aggressive but his protectiveness is everything a woman craves.

2. He suffers through Lorelai and Rory's movie nights.

With Chinese food in one to-go container and a pizza box half empty, the Gilmore-style movie nights are everything we dream of. Do you remember when Luke goes over and watches Pippy Longstocking with Rory and Lorelai? And they start singing the theme song? He keeps his comments to himself and lets them do their thing. Luke appreciates the Gilmores for who they are.

3. He is supportive of Lorelai stepping out of her comfort zone.

Luke is always supportive. He reminds Lorelai to stop holding back and face her fears. For instance, Lorelai begins to run out of money to keep the Inn open. She fearfully asks Luke for $30,000, and he writes the check without questions. He puts others first even if he suffers deeply.



4. Luke opens his home to nephew Jess and daughter April.

I know #TeamJess and #TeamDean is a sensitive topic, but it takes a lot to open your home for an extended period of time. Even when Jess takes advantage of Luke's generosity he still wants the best for his nephew. With April, he is shocked when he initially finds out he has a daughter. And then he turns into "protective father" mode. Luke has a giving heart until someone takes advantage.


5. He loves his sister despite her being in and out of his life.

Liz may be a wackadoo, but he still stands by her when she gets married and gets pregnant. With her flakiness, Luke gives anything he can just to make her and T.J. happy.


6. Lastly, he treats Lorelai the way a woman should be treated.

Luke and Lorelai are the dream couple. They were always in love with each other, but always extinguished the feels and dated someone else. Luke watched Lorelai date Max, Alex, Jason, and Christopher {round two}. Lorelai heard about Luke dating Rachel, who was his long time lover. When they finally get together {spoiler} he reminds her that he's not going anywhere. oh, commitment *swoons*

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
