We all know and love Alexander Michael Karev from "Grey's Anatomy." Doctor Evil Spawn is probably one of the first man crushes you had if you're a millennial. If you can't think of any reasons why you love him, I'll give you some hints.

1. Look at him.

His charming good looks are enough to get you intrigued. And especially in the off chance Grey's shows him shirtless.

2. He is Meredith's person.

Alex was Meredith's person in hiding when Cristina was around. Now, since she's gone, he's her number one partner in crime. He is always ready to protect Meredith, no matter what. Even though recently they have not shown many Mer/Alex scenes, the audience knows how good their friendship is.

3. He doesn't get involved in the drama.

In the last few seasons, Alex has remained low-key as hell in the drama department. This obviously makes us love him more because it makes him look so innocent and cute.

4. His smile.

I. Just. Can't.

5. His relationship with Izzie.

Forget Alex & Jo, Alex & Izzie were the ultimate couple. I wish Katherine Heigl wouldn't have been so difficult and stayed on the show because I truly believe they were meant for each other. For God's sakes, after the wedding, her hair was falling out and he kept telling her how beautiful she was.

6. His witty remarks.

We live for his bluntness when someone asks for his opinion. It makes him so perfect.

Thanks to Alex's Africa Project, Zola was able to meet her parents. Alex even suggested that Meredith and Derek adopt Zola, and the rest is history.

8. He is part of the OG squad of Grey's Anatomy that is still alive.

I know this is really upsetting and hard to talk about but the truth of the matter is almost everybody from season one is either dead or disappeared from the face of the earth. Izzie, Burke, Cristina, Derek and George are all gone (I will not disclose how, you have to watch!) We all know if anything happened to Alex Karev, we would absolutely die. So a message to Shonda Rhimes, don't kill off Alex. Thank you.

We love you Alex Karev and we hope you love us too!
