Rory Gilmore was never the most likable character on Gilmore Girls, but that's a story for another article. However, she did have some trashy boyfriends and some great ones.

Here is the definitive list of all Rory's love interests.

9. Logan

Don't look at us like that, we've never been Team Logan. Logan is a pretentious rich boy who had the worst influence on Rory throughout the show.

Rory was most annoying when she was with Logan. Oh, and he cheated on his fiancée: there's no coming back from that.

8. Dean

Dean is one of those guys who start out great, but end up disappointing you. Rory couldn't have asked for a better first boyfriend.

However, Dean became more possessive and problematic with each season. Don't forget that he also cheated on his wife Lindsay.

7. Sean

He never reached the boyfriend status, but we are glad he didn't. Sean was your run-of-the-mill player who would've taken advantage of Rory if she had given him the chance. He was also low-key homophobic.

6. Trevor

Rory met Trevor in an English class, and that was the only interesting thing about him. He had no personality whatsoever, terrible taste in clothes, and just all the wrong things to say. Rory and Trevor would've never worked out.

5. Graham

Emily tried her best to find a suitable boyfriend for her favorite granddaughter… and failed miserably. Graham took Rory out for drinks with his friends present, so it wasn't even a date per se. He was just okay, we guess.

4. Paul

The only thing wrong with Paul is the fact that he dated Rory. That's about it. He was genuinely a nice guy who seemed to have feelings for Rory, but she completely walked all over him and cheated on him with Logan. Poor dude.

3. Robert

Robert was essentially Rory's attempt to make Logan jealous, but he did nothing wrong. He was nice to Rory at the party they went to.

In fact, if Rory hadn't been so hung up on Logan, things might've turned out differently between her and Robert.

2. Tristan

This bad boy was definitely Jess' prototype, and we fell for him hard. Rory didn't though – Chad Michael Murray left Gilmore Girls before they spent enough quality time together.

Tristan was charming, smart, and a total flirt (and we loved him for it).

1. Jess

The one boyfriend Rory never deserved. Jess wasn't without fault, but he matured significantly over the seasons – he actually outgrew Rory by a long shot. Jess is The One (not for Rory, but for us).

We are craving another revival of Gilmore Girls! Are you?
