When I wrote up my last List of Five, I left off a few actors because I realized it wasn’t the actor I was finding so attractive — it was the character he portrayed. From swashbuckling heroes to dudes unafraid to break out into song to woo a lady, it was about finding myself swept up in the storybook or fairytale. Playing the damsel in distress instead of the woman forced to have it together all the time. Playing fantasy is just more fun when you can really push aside reality and throw yourself in the story. Here are a few of the leading men I’d want by my side.

1. Will Schuester, Glee

I want to know when I got old enough to start digging on the TEACHERS in high school dramas instead of the students. (Memo to Diane: Probably about the time that “digging on” took a flying leap out of the common vernacular.) This love was sealed for me when he danced around to “Gold Digger” in an oh-so-perfectly-fitted T-shirt. His devotion to the students just ups the HEART-MELTING factor. I envy that Emma Pillsbury. (Well, except for the whole coach-in-hot-pants part. PANICFACE.)

2. Captain Jack Sparrow, Pirates of the Caribbean

I must admit, before this movie, I did not understand the appeal of Johnny Depp. Didn’t get it. CLUELESS WAS I. Apparently slapping some eyeliner and a questionable hair style on the man makes him nigh on irresistible. If I were Elizabeth Swan, you could not PAY ME to pine away for Will Turner.

3. Edmond Dantes, The Count of Monte Cristo

Though I’m speaking of the character from the book (one of my favorites), I’ve done you all the favor of posting a picture of him as portrayed by Jim Caviezel (List of Five material in his own right) in the 2002 film adaptation. Edmond spent years digging his way out of prison to get back to Mercedes. That’s dedication, my friends. This man made vengeance SEXY.

4. Paul Ballard, Dollhouse

This man. Words fail me. It took a while for him to grow on me, but his devotion to Mellie won me over in the end. Also maybe he took his shirt off a few times. When I heard the (excruciatingly painful) news of Dollhouse‘s demise, I will fully admit my first reaction was, “but what about BALLARD?”

5. Robin Hood, Robin Hood … Yes, The Disney Robin Hood

BEAR WITH ME, here. The dude is a FOX! He’s an outlaw. A charitable outlaw, at that. I fell in love with him when I was 5 years old, dancing around my living room in my purple nightgown, pretending to be Maid Marian. That love is still going strong, and if I could turn myself into an animated fox, I’d be all up on that.

Girl Talk Thursday, where a grown woman admits her undying love for a CARTOON FOX. Don’t ever accuse me of holding back on you guys.

I showed you mine … Will you show me yours?

Which five fictional characters would you get it on with if you could?

They can be from books, movies, TV shows, mythology … whatever makes your skirt fly up. (Unless you’re a dude, then probably they do something to your pants. Which isn’t really any of my business. But you can play along too!)

So who’s it going to be? Don Draper? Mr. Darcy? Mr. Clean? We don’t judge!

Stop on by tomorrow and drop your post into Mr. Linky, leave your list in the comments, or share on Twitter with the hashtag #GTT. Happy lusting!
