dianora2 a) because it amused me, and b) because I'm suffering from SWAS (severe work avoidance syndrome)...
The one who promised to love you forever and for a while, yeah, it seemed like it was really going to work out this time, but the relationship turned abusive, and in the end, you realized you loved who they were, not who they'd become:
The X-Files.
The old flame you don't see very often any more but whom you still really enjoy getting together with for a few drinks and maybe a pleasant nostalgic romp in the sheets:
Remington Steele
The mysterious dark gothy one whom you used to sit up with talking until 3 a.m. at weird coffeehouses and with whom you were quite smitten until you realized he really was completely out of his mind and believed all that garbage he was spouting:
The X-Files
The one you spent a whole weekend in bed with and who drank up all your liquor, and whom you'd still really like to see again although you're relieved he doesn't actually live in town:
Angel
The steady:
CSI. Although I may throw him over for his cousin in New York in the fall. Stay tuned…
The alluring strangers whom you've flirted with at parties but have never gotten really serious with:
Kung Fu: The Silliness Continues
The one you hang out with and have vague fantasies about maybe having a thing with but ultimately you're just good buddies 'cause the friendship is there but the chemistry ain't:
Stargate SG-1. But such a good buddy, never fails to be there when I call…
The one who's slept with all your friends, and you keep looking at him and thinking Him? How the hell did he land all these cool babes?
Forever Knight
The new guy that you just can't stop talking about, even though everyone else is getting ready to beat you to death for your own good:
Celebrity Poker! (does that count? Hell, it’s must-watch tv, so I say it does)
The one you look at and go 'hey, I could spend the rest of my life with this guy,' only then he gets hit by a bus and you can't even bring yourself to go to the funeral because you're crying too hard:
Firefly (yay, not dead, damn it!). Also Cupid.
The one who has always satisfied you, always made you happy, to whom you can always turn, and goddamit it people, why don't you appreciate them like I do?
Remington Steele
The one that swore he wouldn't leave you, because after all this was such a great relationship, and it was going to work out this time, honest:
Buffy the Vampire Slayer
The one true love, the one you'll never, ever bring yourself to leave, even though you want to bury his entire family at the bottom of a mineshaft and need porters for all that emotional baggage:
X-Files.
The one you thought you were in love with until you realized he was never going to grow up:
Angel
The one you're really, really not sure you want to get within a mile of, but he must be saying something people like because he's popular in a certain dubious crowd:
Star Trek
The one who got you first and made you finally understand the crazy things other people do when they're in love:
MacGyver
The one who turned out to be harmless bubblegum fun with no consequences either good or bad, and now neither of you really wants to see the other again:
Battlestar Galactica
The oldest bestest friend, an early passionate love affair that turned into a deeper and more platonic love over the years, the one you'll always love no matter how stupid or screwed-up he may occasionally act:
Scarecrow & Mrs King
Mr. Still Crazy After All These Years, the friendly ex you don't think about much but will always be delighted to see on the rare occasions when he's in town, and with whom you will inevitably stay up till 4 a.m. reminiscing and laughing about old times:
Babylon 5
The jailbait, cute and flirtatious and way too young for you but so oddly mature at times that you forget:
The Muppet Show (what?)
The guy you dated because he was there, while the one you really wanted was his older brother who'd moved out of town:
The Lone Gunmen
The one your friends keep introducing you to and who seems like a hell of a cool guy except it's never really gone anywhere:
Smallville
The one who always manages to gather themselves for one last gasp, again and again, and dammit, you're such old friends that you don't have the heart to say no even though it's kind of embarassing the way they go on and don't retire gracefully:
MacGyver
The one your friend has fallen for like a ton of bricks and whom she keeps babbling to you about on the phone for hours, and you'd be happy for her except you just know it's going to end badly:
West Wing
The one who keeps trying to convince you that he's deep and meaningful, but is really just surface fluff and pancake makeup:
Alias.
The one who seduced you and screwed you over and broke your heart in a million pieces and then just laughed about it with all his friends:
X-Files (like Dia, I sense a theme…)
ETA 8:40pm: SWAS has been defeated. Several thousand words written, and three scenes yet to write to finish the draft. I have pinot noir, feline accompaniment, and the intense desire to be done with this damn book. I'll see y'all on the other side, one way or the other...
