Have you ever fallen in love with a fictional character? We're pretty sure you have and we wouldn't be surprised if you have wished for a real life Augustus Waters. To celebrate the wonderful news that The Fault In Our Stars will be released on June 5 (not August as earlier announced), we thought we'd run down the reasons why Gus would be the perfect date for Valentine's Day.
1. He'll bring you flowers.
2. His smile will make you melt.
3. He'll spend an afternoon with you just talking while swinging.

4. He'll twirl you around into a hug.
5. He'll make you smile.

7. He'll cry with you.
8. But he'll also make you laugh.
9. He'll tell you he's in love with you.
10. He'll kiss you.
Now if only the real life Gus would magically appear (and never ever disappear into oblivion!)...
