Eric Forman, Grace's character on <i>That 70s Show</i>, is a small town white kid from a (more or less) stable family who is basically a good guy. And his sense of humor has sarcasm and irony to it, much like Dave's. He knows a joke when he sees it, even when it's on him.
Dave's a little cooler than Eric Forman, though. Don't you think?

Yes I agree. I was thinking along the same lines. I just can't put a name with the face that I have. I am thinking someone a little less skinny. But not fat and not muscular. Just normal on the thin side, but not too skinny. Someone with the color hair of grace, but maybe not the hairstyle. Maybe a clean cut look, definetly not shaggy. Maybe a stylish cut, but I don't see him having to use moose or hair gel every day. I do see someone with a sense of humor who can laugh at himself, but is rarely the butt of the joke and is usually the one on the inside of the jokes (or knows about the joke). As for looks, I am seeing someone that the girls think is cute, but don't stop what they are doing to run over and check him out, (like they would for a Brad Pitt or Val Kilmer). Someone who, if he talked to a girl would think, "oh he is cute." And cute can be a curse for him, because of his looks he gains more girls as friends because he has a friendly look and the girls like to talk to him but they are not sexually attracted to him right away. He isn't going to have many one night stands, if any, but he has no hard time having many friends that are girls that are very attractive. And those friendships lead him into is intimate relationships.
So I am going to look around to see who I can find. I really wish you would give me a hint.
