Me (Alicia Dean). Author of Valentine romance short story, Cupid’s Beau – What happens when a Cupid falls for her target? (ON SALE for only 99¢)
Want: Matthew McConaughey, I LOVED How to Lose a Guy in Ten Days, and MM is very hot, but he acts a little ‘off’ sometimes, so I would just want him on a temporary basis. But many times. 🙂
Wed: Patrick Dempsey. I adore Patrick Dempsey. There’s something about him that really appeals to me. I would Wed him so I could Want him often. And if you haven’t seen Made of Honor, you’re missing out. It is such a cute, fun, sexy movie. Definitely a good choice for Valentine’s Day (or any day). He also seems like a good husband, so Wedding him is a win-win.
Waste: Tom Hanks. I like him and respect him, and Sleepless in Seattle was a good movie. He and Meg had good chemistry, but he’s the least appealing of the two. Everyone loves Tom Hanks, so if I actually wasted him, I’m sure a lot of people would be angry with me, so I won’t. But he’s in my Waste category by default.

Want – Matthew McConaughey – because he’s the ultimate bad boy and so darn cute. I can just cuddle up with him and have all sorts of fun.
Wed – Tom Hanks – because he’s the man you bring home to meet the parents. He’s funny, sensitive and faithful. And not bad to look at.
Waste: Patrick Dempsey – there is just something about him that turns me off. I’m not sure what it is, but he’s not my type of guy.

Want: How to Lose a Guy in Ten Days is my absolute favorite Romantic Comedy. Just typing this out makes me want to drop everything and go put the dvd in. Yum, yum, yum. Plus, Mr. McConaughey is not only a Texas, but hell, was he ripped in Magic Mike. Yeah, I’ll let Matt do me!
Wed: The only part of Sleepless in Seattle that I really loved was when Rosie and Meg were watching An Affair to Remember with Deborah Kerr and Cary Grant (the sexiest man of all time). But who wouldn’t wed a lovable Tom Hanks? Not me. I’ll take him.
Waste: This is ridiculous. There is no possible way to waste Patrick Dempsey. The man pulled a victim out of a burning car for God’s sake! No. I’ll just have to want <i>and</> wed him too. I’m BREAKING the rules.

Want: Patrick Dempsey. Patrick is hot! What my mom would’ve called a dreamboat. Didn’t see him in Made of Honor; loved him in Enchanted.
Wed: Tom Hanks. No question. I watch Sleepless in Seattle every time it’s on and get all choked up every time. Even better in You Got Mail. In real life, he seems very devoted to his wife Rita. Gotta love that.
Do I have to waste one? Then I guess it has to be Matthew McConaughey. I didn’t see him in How to Lose a Guy in Ten Days, but I loved him in Failure to Launch.

Want: Gotta go with Matthew McConaughey. He hasn’t aged all that well, but I’m not exactly a beauty contest winner, either, so I’m not gonna be picky. He still has a certain charm.
Wed: Patrick Dempsey! He has that wholesome, boy next store, killer smile thing going for him and he just seems like a nice guy.
Waste: Wait. Wait just one minute here. I can’t waste Tom Hanks! He’s too awesome and cool. Huh. McConaughey has to go. Waste McConaughey, Wed Hanks and Want Dempsey. Sorry, Matthew. I guess that whole poor aging thing meant more to me than I thought. And you never did “Big” or “Sleepless in Seatle” or “Castaway”…and you’re not the voice of Woody. Ba-bye.

I agree, it’s darn hard to waste some of these guys!

Tough choices this week!
I’d have a hard time choosing between Tom Hanks & Patrick Dempsey in the Want and Waste categories because I love them both. I’m a big Grey’s Anatomy fan and just love Dr. McDreamy.
That leaves Matthew M. for the waste by default, darn it.

Hmmm, Patrick is a keeper. (My husband is Pat so I wouldn’t have to get use to a new name!) The other two are catch and release material. I never could understand the Tom Hanks appeal.

Oh, and I totally meant that whole boy next store thing…you know…when you live next to a store, and there’s a boy there…
Really need to edit myself better! Thanks for letting me play, Alicia!

LMAO. Yikes! LOL. I should have caught that. Sorry. Now that you’ve commented, though, I guess I shouldn’t fix it.

wow! that is a hard group to choose from. Patrick Dempsey was so good in Enchanted (and yes he’s dreamy) so he’d be the want. Tom Hanks just seems like the nicest man in Hollywood, so he’s marriage material (sorry Rita Wilson) Matthew is cute, but I just don’t think I’d like the naked bongo playing, so I’d have to pass on him –maybe even in less than ten days… fun group this week, Alicia!

Ha, Nora. Yeah, the naked bongo playing somehow isn’t a turn-on. YES, I loved Patrick Dempsey in Enchanted.
