Disclaimer: I own not Dean, he's from GG. I own not Jess, he's also from GG. I own not Noel, cause I made him like Noel from Felicity. I own not Paul, cause I know a Paul. I own not Todd, cause I know a Todd. Actually, I do own Noel and Paul and Todd, just not the names. Cool!

Everything you ever wanted to know about the Boyfriend Boxes:
Dean Forrester: Shelved November 2002. First boyfriend of Rory Gilmore. Main items in the box include cornstarch and the pretty dress from Rory's first dance.
Jess Mariano: Shelved May 2003. Second boyfriend of Rory. Lasted less than a year after over a year of obvious sexual attraction. Started out nice, ended up an ass. Main item in box: Howl by Allen Ginsberg with the notes in the margins.
Noel Conners: Shelved Thanksgiving 2004. First college boyfriend of Rory. One year older than her. She started going out with him because Lorelai kept screaming, "Find your Noel! You have to find your first-season of Felicity Noel!" every time Rory called her. Main item in box: Big half of wishbone from first Wednesday before Thanksgiving together, also known as their first date.
Paul Keith: Shelved May 2006. Unshelved Jan. 2008, Reshelved late Jan. 2008. First huge heartbreak of Rory, causing her to spend an entire week crying in her mother's house. They went out for a year; he came back two years later, and then left because his girlfriend was pregnant. Struck a huge chord with Rory because of Christopher and Lorelai and Sherry. Main item in box: Dried roses from their sixth month anniversary.
Todd Jenkins: Shelved Nov. 2009. Two years older than her. He was a self-absorbed actor who was really nice when they were together but he spent too much time doing charity stuff overseas (like Leo, Grace's "husband" from Will & Grace) and not enough time talking to her. She spent a lot of time talking to his PR agent, Greg Adams, who she eventually left Todd for. Main item in box: invitation to the premiere of one of his movies: their second date of two.
These truly are the Gilmores of our lives.

Noel: Well. That was interesting news.
Jess: I guess we can sacrifice her for a good harvest.
Paul: Or rain.
Jess: Good thing we're not in a drought.
Todd: He's still an asshole.
Dean: Why is he an asshole? He hasn't taken advantage of her, and he's honoring her wishes that she doesn't want to have sex till she's married.
Todd: I don't care. He's an asshole.
Paul: Just because he stole Rory from you cause you were a sucky boyfriend—
Todd: I was not!
Noel: Dude, you admitted that you only went on two dates with her, and you guys went out for seven months.
Todd: Okay, so I wasn't the best boyfriend….
Jess: I was better. And I ended up being pretty crappy.
Noel: Oh, you really did.
Jess: Yeah, thanks Noel.
Dean: I think we should all just shut up about Greg. I think he's gonna be the one. He's lasted the longest.
Paul: Well, that's true.
Dean: Except for me, actually.
Jess: No, not except for you.
Noel: Yeah. If you actually count up all your times together, it's only about a year and a half.
Paul: And Greg and Rory have been together for….
Noel: Wait, I know this….
Jess: Nineteen months.
Dean: Yeah, great, a month over us.
Noel: Hey, he's the only one of us to give her a diamond.
Jess: And it's a hell of a diamond. You seen it?
Paul: Yeah, it's huge.
Dean: Perfect for Rory.
Todd: Whatever, man, he's still a total ass.
Jess: I see nothing wrong with him, Todd. He even got all of Lorelai's stupid jokes.
Noel: That's where I struck out the most.
Paul: Yeah, I think she told me about that.
Noel: Yeah, uh, Lorelai started quoting Felicity and talking about A.U.S.A. and Alias to me.
Jess: Cause you're Noel, and you were a sophomore when Rory was a freshman, right?
Noel: That's what Rory told me later. She said that Lorelai was talking about Scott Foley, basically.
Jess: Cause Scott Foley was Noel, and he was married to Jennifer Garner of Alias.
Paul: Dude, how do you know all that?
Jess: Oh, I spent over a year spending time with Rory before we went out.
Dean: I hated you.
Jess: And I you, Dean. And I you.
Dean: Why'd you hate me?
Jess: I guess I didn't hate all of you. Your Frankenstein scowl is really powerful and…non-scary.
Paul: Again, guys, we're not talking about us, we're talking about Greg.
Noel: Rory's fiancée.
Todd: He's an asshole.
Dean: We know! God, shut up about it, okay?
Todd: Whatever, he's still an asshole.
Paul: I think he sounds like a great guy. I think it's gonna work out.
Noel: If only Rory would not read the letters that Jess sent her.
Jess: Yeah, I don't know what I'm thinking. I should be kicked in the head.
Dean: I'll help you with that.
Jess: No, thanks.
Noel: I think Rory's getting cold feet.
Paul: It happens to the best of us.
Noel: You ever had cold feet?
Paul: No, but I figure it happens to the best of us.
Dean: That's wise advice.
Jess: It's not exactly advice, Dean.
Noel: Hey! Who here thinks we should throw the teenagers to the back of the closet?
Paul: I think we should give them another chance, and maybe separate them.
Noel: Separating them sounds like a good idea.
Todd: Greg's an asshole.
