10 TV Couples That Created Unrealistic Expectations About Relationships

8. Seth/Summer - The OC

Let's be clear on one thing: ladies, you will never find your very own Seth Cohen. Gentlemen, you will never find a girl like Summer. It might hurt, but it's important to be realistic, and it's better to get it out of the way at the beginning. Because seriously, these are two unfairly awesome people. They're not even perfect, which might actually start to get annoying after a while. No, they're just perfectly flawed, and all of their little bumps and quirks just serve to make them even better. Seth pulled her up on a table in front of the whole school as part of a grand romantic gesture. Summer dressed up as Wonder Woman for him as a Christmas present (well, technically Chrismukkah, but let's not be pedantic). And even when they're annoying each other, they still genuinely seem to enjoy spending time together. Once they get past Seth's crippling insecurity and Summer's rage blackouts, they're pretty much a perfect couple. Definitely way better than Ryan and Marissa, anyway.
