From someone who actually landed on Justin Bieber while goofing around on Chat Roulette, take it from us– celebrity encounters do happen. FYI, Justin was cool. He didn't stay on the chat too long, but he did flash that smile.
There is a downside to playing this game– it's called real life. Justin Bieber is now married. So is Nick Jonas. While Hailey Baldwin and Priyanka Chopra got there first, there's something they don't have a say in. The female fanbase. Come to think of it. Guys are always rambling about their celeb crushes. Chloe Grace Moretz. Megan Fox. Emilia Clarke. Kendall Jenner.
It's our turn. We might have our #GirlCrushes like Beyonce, Shaye Mitchell, and JLO. To be honest, even if we're into guys, we'd probably swipe right on these women just for the chance to be in a room with them.
Ready for it? It's time to close your eyes and picture the guys that, yes, are 100% on our 2018 radar. Not every guy on here will be a match for you. After all, we're all individuals. One girl's Leo DiCaprio is another girl's Ed Sheeran. From music to movies and TV, here are 20 guys to consider. 7 we'd swipe left on, 4 we'd hover over, and 9 are a total yes.
20 Justin Bieber: Please, It's The Biebs (Total Yes)
It's probably safe to say that 2018 caused heartbreak by the millions. Justin Bieber married his fiancée, Hailey Baldwin (and there isn't a day these two don't take to the streets to show it).
This floppy-haired teen heartthrob is now 24 years old, super easy on the eye, and he's definitely shed the slightly off-putting reputation of former years.
In November 2018, Justin made his Instagram announcement– "My wife is awesome." Selena Gomez? She's a distant memory. Justin does have a slight bad boy image, but there's a good-heartedness that's growing with every passing year. This guy's a total #Yes.
19 Tristan Thompson: After The Whole Khloe Thing? Sorry, Tristan, #SwipeLeft
Tristan Thomspon has proved quite the headline-maker this year. While a Thanksgiving pic on Khloe Kardashian's Instagram showed this couple (and baby True) really working to get their relationship back on track, the drama hasn't been forgotten.
"[Messed up]" is how Kim Kardashian called the whole Tristan and Khloe drama on "The Ellen Show."
Getting filmed cozying up to an unknown woman by The Daily Mail didn't do Tristan any favors. It happening just days before Khloe was due to give birth? Eeep. Tristan does seem to be giving fatherhood a go, though. We won't disrespect the guy, but would we date him?
18 Channing Tatum: No-Brainer, Yes Please (With A Cherry On Top)
A cheeky smile and icy-blue eyes will go a long way. Whack on talent, charm, and a wholesome personality, and you've got the ideal guy. Yes, Channing Tatum ticks a lot of boxes.
In 2018, Channing and his wife of 9 years, Jenna Dewan divorced. By December 2018, Gossip Cop was already suggesting that Channing will propose to his new girlfriend, Jessie J. That's Hollywood gossip for you.
Magic Mike made this guy a star. You know the real ones last when the movie is years old.
17 Chris Brown: It Wasn't The Best Boyfriend, So...Hover?
When you've had a highly-publicized past that was #NotOk, it's going to be remembered. In 2017, E Online took a look at how both Chris Brown and Rihanna's careers have changed following the 2009 incident that saw Rihanna suffer abuse at the hands of her then-boyfriend.
"I felt like a monster. She hated me after that," Chris said on a documentary covered by The Guardian. At least he opened up.
Chris has worked hard to regain the trust of his fans. Behavior like that isn't excused, but the human thing to do is look at the guy now. Chris gets a #Hover?
16 Scott Disick: There Will Always Be Kourtney Drama, Then Again, He's Got Charm, #Hover
Scott Disick might be dating Sofia Richie, but the association with Kourtney Kardashian will forever be there. Nothing wrong with it– Kourtney and Scott are working hard to co-parent three kids.
In 2018, Kourtney was seen crying on KUWTK after Scott introduced the kids to Sofia Richie against her wishes (and apparently, the advice of their couples' therapist). Like we said, a lot of Kourtney drama.
At the same time, Scott is charming, funny, good-looking, and a super hands-on dad. The guy also seems to have put the wildest of his partying behind him. The drama we might not want. Dinner with Scott? Perhaps.
15 Nick Jonas: It Was A Yes From Priyanka Chopra, And It's A Yes From Us
Nick Jonas has swept a lot of ladies off their feet. Following his 2018 wedding to Priyanka Chopra, this Jonas brother is now attending other peoples' weddings– sadly for us, with the beautiful Priyanka on his arm.
Reasons we'd swipe right on this guy? It might be quicker to list the reasons we wouldn't. His music is platinum-selling. His movie roles have Dwayne Johnson as a co-star. Ultimately, this guy's got The X Factor. You just can't put your finger on it.
Nick proposed to Priyanka on her birthday (seriously, does this guy get any more romantic?) The two were married in India on December 1st, 2018.
14 Kanye West: Doesn't Really Seem Easygoing, Probably Not
Even Kim Kardashian has admitted that Kanye West can be a handful. In 2018, these two "fought" over Band-Aids on KUWTK. "He was like, I've slaved around the world for you making clothes for you to make sure that you find the best outfit and you let me going out wearing a Jesus Band-Aid," Cosmopolitan reported Kim venting.
Imported black Versace towels and ironed carpets that "aren't too bumpy" are Kanye's hotel demands. Hmm...
Kanye's "diva demands" have been well-documented by Business Insider. While we're into this guy's music, pared-down Yeezy wear, and witticisms, Kanye isn't exactly easy-going. Just read his tweets...
13 Chris Pratt: Guards Galaxies, Funniest Guy Ever, #TotalYes
Chris Pratt is the Hollywood superstar we never saw coming. For starters, Chris started out homeless and serving at Bubba Gump Shrimp. He was spotted by an actress. Parks and Recreation gave us Chris Pratt, the funny guy. Marvel took one look at this sitcom star and before we knew it, they'd whipped him into Star-Lord.
"Oh my God, I'm getting fat," Chris said about his former years. As The Daily Mail reports, Chris affectionately put the blame on his now ex-wife, Anna Faris.
Guardians of the Galaxy marked the new Chris. He's also a hilarious guy, a wonderful father, and total #Yes material.
12 Chris Hemsworth: Total Yes (BRB, Photoshopping Elsa Pataky Out His Life)
Typing Chris Hemsworth's name into Pinterest? Unless you literally want to lose an hour of your time, not something we advise. Oh, who are we kidding? We could scroll through this guy's pics forever. Chris Hemsworth is more than just a pretty face, though. Watching him be a dad to those three kids is heart-warming beyond belief.
You just don't turn down Thor – simple as that
There's a problem, though. Chris is married to Elsa Pataky. They've got 3 kids, #FamilyGoals like we've never seen, and this guy doesn't appear to have been tempted by the Hollywood starlets. Still, a girl can dream.
11 Pete Davidson: Listening To Ariana Here, "Thank U, Next"
"Thank you, next" has made a lot of things very clear. Ariana Grande and Pete Davidson are no more, although you can't say this guy doesn't have a certain something. Whatever it was, it was enough to whisk Ari off her feet and have her firmly engaged in just 24 days.
"For someone who hates relevancy, you sure love clinging to it, huh" was Ariana's cryptic post-breakup message on social media. Is there a side to Pete that we're not digging?
"I feel like I won a contest! It's so [...] lit," Pete said on a Late Night appearance. You date her, you don't brag about her.
10 Travis Scott: Daddy Skills, Talent, Serious Swag, #Yes
Here's how it goes with Travis Scott. You read about the guy in Kylie Jenner articles. Then you find out that he's a rapper who spends quality dad time with Stormi (who has her own private room at every venue). If you hadn't listened to his music yet, you start. That's when it all starts to make sense.
In 2018, a High Snobriety op-ed asked how Travis Scott became "one of music's most divisive artists?" There's a simple answer. Sheer talent.
Travis has the kinds of swag that now make him the face of Saint Laurent. His sound is different. His look is edgy. The guy is one to watch (and a yes from us).
9 Tom Cruise: #Swoon Back In The Day, Seems Complicated Now, Swipe Left
Tom Cruise was built for Mission Impossible. As one of the few actors in Hollywood who continues to pull most of his own stunts, this man is fearless, dedicated, and ultimately pretty good at his job. His relationships? Well, they're a little more complicated.
Katie Holmes reportedly "cannot date publicly for 5 years after Tom Cruise,"
The Daily Mail reports. TomKat divorced in 2012. With rumors of a controlling marriage and a rather peaky-faced Katie, women began to wonder about this guy. Tom was previously married to Mimi Rogers and Nicole Kidman. He seems to do well as a dad to Suri, but are we wanting him as our date?
8 Drake: Talented, But Has Secrets, #Hover
Pictures of Drake smiling are few and far between. Then again, when the guy does smile, it's like the warmest, most genuine smile you ever saw. Scorpion might be the album name, but we've got a feeling Drake is a softie inside.
The troubled part? This might well be pressure from the public, but it took until 2018 for Drake to reveal that he had a son. "I wasn't hiding my kid from the world/ I was hiding the world from my kid," his lyrics state.
Drake seems to be finding his feet in a world where he ducks and dives from the cameras. #Maybe?
7 Zac Efron: Was #Yes The Day He Set Foot In Hollywood
Put it this way– if you heard a voice behind you in Starbucks saying: "Don't worry I'll get that" and it was Zac Efron, would you need to pinch yourself? Hollywood loves a good blue-eyed boy. The Disney channel had its eye on this boy, but Zac is all grown up, now. In 2018, Zac told Cosmopolitan that he's ready to "make somebody else happy." Zac said that being closer to his 30s,
"I didn't think much about settling down until recently."
The guy seems to be single. In early 2018, Bustle suggested he might be dating British singer, Rebecca Ferguson. We didn't see it.
6 Fetty Wap: A Dad Of 7 At The Age Of 27, #RedFlag
Having lots of kids isn't necessarily a full red flag. When there are 7 at 27 (and quite a handful of baby mommas), you can't help but factor that in. Fetty Wap didn't wind up on Nicki Minaj's "Barbie Dreams" diss list for no reason.
A "Trap Queen" nickname isn't for everyone.
This rapper might belt out some epic music, but dating him could have its ups and downs. Fetty Wap is reportedly no longer with his ex-girlfriend and mother to his 7th child, Alexis Skyy McFarland, The Daily Mail reports. And we thought Scott Disick's situation was complicated...
5 Robert Pattinson: Was A #Heartthrob, Seems To Have Changed, Swipe Left
You'd recognize Zac Efron in the street. Likewise, Nick Jonas. Bump into this guy though, and you might never know it was Robert Pattinson. The Twilight Saga gave this actor the biggest #TeenIcon ever. Unlike Daniel Radcliffe, who has successfully managed to shake off the Harry Potter, R-Pat seems to have fizzled out a bit.
Credit where it's due. This guy went through some major heartbreak with the not-so-faithful Kristen Stewart and her Snow White and The Huntsmen director. TMZ splattered the pics all over the internet, and this guy seemed heartbroken. Back in the day? Would've been a #Yes. Now, we'd probably pass.
4 Zayn Malik: Became An Icon For A Reason, #Yes
Take it from a British person who remembers a teen Zayn Malik auditioning on The X Factor all those years ago. This edgy guy became an icon for a reason.
Zayn is now back with Gigi Hadid. They've announced their "on" status on Instagram, the street cuddles are back, and Capital FM reports that "There You Are" was written about Gigi.
This isn't a who's dating who game, though. It's a who we'd date deal. Zayn gets a #Swoon for those heartfelt vibes, edgy street looks, and the fact that there's some vulnerability. Zayn is a giant introvert, so In Style reports. Shy and gorgeous? We just melted some more.
3 Leonardo DiCaprio: Been An Icon For Decades, Will Forever Be #Yes
Leonardo DiCaprio burst onto the silver screen as the floppy-haired pretty boy in Titanic. This was back when Leo's looks were earning him more credit than his talent. Pretty boys in Hollywood are a dime a dozen. Actors as gifted as Leo? They're one in a million.
Leo used to come with a "models on the yacht" reputation. He's toned it way down (although it's a yes either way with this guy).
"Surrounded By women On St Tropez Yacht" was The Daily Mail's headline in 2017. Leo is now dating Camila Morrone. Yes, she's a model, but it seems to be serious. We'll just keep dreaming..
2 DJ Khaled: Seems Kind Of High Maintenance, Still Not 100% Sure What He Does, #SwipeLeft
If you've watched DJ Khaled in JLO and Cardi B's "Dinero" video, you'll get what we mean. While Khaled is irritatingly addictive to watch, we're not entirely sure how standing around and repeating every word that JLO says is a "career."
"Another one! We be the #1 music!" DJ Khaled knows his worth. The jets and sneakers are there, his son, Asahd is beyond adorable, but there's a slight whiff of diva.
Khaled produces. He also features on a lot of tracks. Ultimately though, we're still not 100% sure what the man does. It's a yes if we want to hit Louis Vuitton with his budget. Otherwise, probably pass.
1 Bruno Mars: You Know When A Guy Is Just Too "Fly?" #Hover
Here is Bruno Mars jamming it out on Carpool Karaoke with James Corden. Even Corden interrupts Bruno to ask him how a guy can be wearing that much silk. This guy isn't just good-looking. He's fly.
Downside to dating Bruno Mars? Dude is so slick, he'll outdo all your outfits.
His dance moves are beyond amazing. His tunes are beyond catchy. At the same time, though, Bruno does err on the side of a little too polished for most girls. For those who are interested in his private life, Bruno is said to be dating Jessica Caban, so The Sun reports.
