Dr. Spencer Reid, the extraordinarily smart criminal profiler from CBS’s crime drama "Criminal Minds", is not the first person someone would think of as boyfriend material. I mean, he often doesn’t know when to stop talking, is very awkward in in most situations, and has quite a bit of emotional baggage on top of it all. However, almost every "Criminal Minds" junkie knows very well that Spencer Reid (played by the adorkable and wonderful Matthew Gray Gubler) is the highlight of the show and is perfect, boyfriend material. Here are 13 reasons why Spencer Reid should be the boyfriend of your fantasies.

1. He's extremely intelligent.

If you are a trivia buff like me, you'd appreciate Spencer Reid filling your life with random facts that only he would know.

2. He has the best smile.

His smile just makes the world seem happier and fills your heart with so much joy, right?

3. His awkwardness is endearing.

He may not always know the consequences of his actions, but his awkwardness around females make him even more lovable.

4. He understands life and all of its twists and turns.

When he isn't spewing out a bunch of random facts, Spencer Reid does deeply understand the nitty-gritty aspects of life and isn't afraid to discuss them.

5. He's great with kids.

A man who actually gets down to the level of a child and also doesn't act like one at the same time is a keeper for sure.

6. He's selfless and will protect you at all times.

Even if that means giving in and giving you the last piece of pizza or being subjected to torture or even death, he will do anything to ensure your safety.

7. You can trust him with anything.

You can have full trust that he will never spill any of the secrets that you tell him not because he doesn't have many friends, but because he views your relationship highly and won't do anything to change that.

8. He puts his heart and soul into everything he does.

He puts everything he has into his career, his livelihood, and even his friendships. He will always be there for you through your ups and downs and will always be willing to go the extra mile. If he's willing to walk you home, he's in for the long run.

9. He's not afraid to tell it like it is.

He isn't afraid, to be honest with others or even with himself, meaning that he will always be honest with you even when you particularly don't want to hear it.

10. His comedic timing is impeccable.

With humor like his, your relationship would never be boring. Instead, it would be filled with the witty banter and snappy comebacks that are only found in romantic comedies.

11. He will never forget anything you tell him.

With an eidetic memory, he is sure not to forget everything about you and all of your special moments with him, such as every single anniversary, your birthday, the fact that you hate scary movies, your fear of heights, etc.

12. He's a great dancer.

All of the people at the clubs are going to be jealous when they see your dance partner.

13. Did I mention how wonderful his smile is?
