Patrick Verona (Heath Ledger - "10 Things I Hate About You") will forever be one of the biggest 90's movie heart-throbs to ever have been created. He was a portrayed as a "bad boy" but he was genuine, caring, kind, funny, honest, romantic, and not to mention handsome... What's not to love? There are so many times that Patrick Verona proves to be one of the most swoon-worthy characters to come out of any film. From saying the words "hey there, girly", to taking care of his drunk date, to serenading the girl he likes. I have narrowed it down to the 10 most Patrick Verona swoon-worthy moments that were given to us in "10 Things I Hate About You".
1. When we were first introduced to Patrick and he walked his way straight into our hearts.
"Should I, uh, hit the lights?"
2. When he knew what a majority of people were thinking.
"Well maybe you're not afraid of me, but I'm sure you've thought about me naked."
3. When he was concerned that he wasn't a "pretty guy".
"Are you telling me I'm not a pretty guy?"
... Don't worry Patrick. You are VERY pretty.
4. When he publically embarrassed himself by complimenting Kat... a little too loudly.
"I was watching you out there before, I've never seen you look so sexy."
5. When he gave his pal the cutest pep-talk.
"Don't let anyone, ever, make you feel like you don't deserve what you want. Go for it!"

8. When he was even able to make Kat swoon.
P: "So you disappoint them from the start and then you're covered, right."
K: "Something like that."
P: "Then you screwed up."
K: "How?"
P: "You never disappointed me."
9. When he is able to get Kat's favorite band to come to their prom.
