Stolen from calliopes_pen:

And now, a meme, taken from a few on my friends list:

Name a fictional character and I'll tell you three reasons I wouldn't want to date them.

You wouldn't want to? I bet you could not think of three reasons not to date Preston.

[camwyn]

1. I'd have to move to the Yukon for it to be even remotely practical, and as much as I love Canada and big wild places, that's kind of unnervingly remote and cold.

2. Given the nature of the stories that he's in I'd probably have to spend all the time he was off on a long patrol holding the fort against lowlives who thought they could get under his skin by trying to hurt me.

3. The man's already married to his job. Who am I to interfere with that?

[ceitfianna]

What about Adrian?

[camwyn]

1. The language might be something of an issue. I understand when that's the way somebody is, and I'm not about to ask them to change their habits just for casual dating, but it would make dating uncomfortable, I think.

2. I don't think I could keep up with him.

3. I have two cats. He has a small fleet of houndeyes. Sooner or later there would be Trouble, or at least a round of THIS IS WHY WE CAN'T HAVE NICE THINGS.

Bender from Futurama.

[camwyn]

1. The cigars. I don't get along with that kind of smell.

2. I've seen the size of his apartment.

3. I have a terrible urge to make a 'men of steel, women of kleenex' reference here, but honestly, I'm just gonna go with saying I suspect there'd be too many personality clashes for it to be worth our while.

Death of the Endless

[camwyn]

1. Terrifying brothers.

2. Not that she's not a really sweet girl and all, but I'm straight.

3. The amount of pressure involved in taking Death out on a date and making sure she has a good time is a little too much for me, thanks.

[lienne]

John Constantine. Because I want to hear which three.

[camwyn]

1. I don't deal well with the smell of tobacco smoke, or other smokables for that matter.

2. If it ends in 'let's just be friends', since I'm not Chas, I die horribly. If it goes into actual romantic territory, when the breakup happens, since I'm not Zatanna, horrible things happen anyway. Mmyeah, no.

3. I have neither a passport nor the mosey-along-without-being-noticed mojo of my illegal immigrant ancestors*, so I can't get into England, and the only story arcs in which John ended up in the United States make my teeth hurt and I prefer to pretend they didn't exist. Not being able to be on the same continent at the same time without either immigration issues or horrible writing happening is a good reason not to date someone.


*Both of whom, somewhat ironically, had originated in England and illegally entered the States.

[mephron]

Scott "Cyclops" Summers of the X-Men.

This may be another 'top three'.

[camwyn]

1. Either Jean or Madelyn or Emma is going to show up at the WORST POSSIBLE MOMENT and archly enquire as to what's going on. That is how it works.

2. Too much destiny floating around that guy and his genetic lineage for me to feel comfortable about anything whatsoever.

3. After a couple of issues I'd get fridged to either make a point or to allow the Canon Chick of Destiny to get her boobs back in the picture.

Captain Picard.

(Hey, I almost did Captain Kirk, just to enjoy seeing which of the possible answers you would pick....)

[camwyn]

1. I don't think he'd appreciate the way I'd keep asking him to just say certain things in order to hear that voice.

2. Tea I'm good with. Earl Grey is nasty. I mean, I tried, back when TNG was on the air. Yes, I tried it because Captain Picard liked it. But that stuff's nasty and I dunno that I want to take a chance of getting a mouthful of that if I accidentally pick up the wrong cup after dinner's over.

3. Q would inevitably show up. You know he would.
