Dan tries to be friends with Serena, but that gets awkward as she gets a new boyfriend - or at least love interest - in "Pret-a-Poor-J," the eighth episode of the second season of Gossip Girl.
Dan Humphrey is down-to-earth and delightfully middle class. Not to mention cute. He's the hero we can all unite behind on Gossip Girl as he romances the lovely Serena. Go Dan!
