Guys - stud, cad, alpha-male, mensch?

There are three guys (or interests for my main character?) in the story. Two real ones and then just third that's so goofy you kinda' don't think he's the one until... BAM! They don't have names yet though.

Doctor- really smart (duh), good looking in the blonde all American probably plays some WASP-y sport. Does something like Doctors without borders for fun.

Computer big wig- works for a Western Washington tech company, makes a lot of money, has a high paying job. One of her brothers friends, possibly. He likes traveling and showing off cool gadgets.

Last guy... So this maybe confusing but MC has been friends with this guy she met through a message board for years, never seen his picture or any real details about his life. Then she treats a klutzy-cute-nerdy guy in the ER for something dorky like a broken ankle. Said guys are the same. Comic book store owner, funny, smart (in the can name every X-Men character , but can relate comics to great works of lit way...), and real. Volunteers at the local library trying to help kids learn to read because how he learned to read was comic books.

Hm... Wonder which guy she is going to pick? The two that woo or the one that can't flirt without breaking a bone or spraining something (and my MC's a nurse)?

My love interest is someone she meets in a kareoke bar and make-out with on the first night. He works as a concert promoter at the local radio station. I haven't figured out the physical description. I'm thinking of slightly pudgy, though.

The next morning, he walks into the bakery she co-owns, with a bride-to-be to order the wedding cake!

She's furious with him, and in later chapters, talks to the bride-to-be about ditching the punk without admitting her own guilt. The bride won't dump him, she knows it's true love.

He keeps finding ways to be with MC, and she wants nothing to do with him.

Day of the wedding, he asks her for a dance, and she refuses...

I won't give away all the plot, but he's an upstanding guy and not a douche, like the reader is meant to believe.

RIght now there are two, with the possibility of adding more.

One is an older, very powerful witch, who is also the King of the witches in the United States. He is beautiful and knows it. He as ordered the MC away from her family and friends in Wisconson to come to Court in Washington State. He demanding, pushy, arrogant, and currently doing a waver thin red head with too much boobs. However there is a ton of tension, sexual and other, between Kingy and MC

The other is a guard at Court, who is about the size of mountain, all muscle. He is strong and a little awkward. Has a bit of a boyish charm, and obviously likes the MC. The problem is that his duty and aligence will always be to the King, first and foremost.

Other visiters to Court or other guards could be added to make things move along.

I was chatting on IRC with a fellow NaNoer the other night and came up with the following character descriptions in Blind Date style... I've edited them to miss out a few potential spoilers to maximise the chances of finding someone to read my story come December who I haven't already blurted half my secrets to!

Behind door number one, we have the scruffy but lovable MMC1, who is secretly *that would be telling*. He was supposed to be a minor role but watch out, ladies, he likes to be in charge! He has green eyes, blonde hair and a wonky nose. He can *it's a secret* at close range and is trying very hard to remain *censored* and not fall in love with the FMC. Apparently kissing him feels like *wouldn't you like to know*. But in a good way. He is likely to have mixed success at his day job which includes protecting the FMC (easy) and *nope, that's too much information* whilst not falling for her (proving more challenging)

Behind door number two we have MMC2 who suffers from name dyslexia just like our heroine. He has dark hair and a meltingly gorgeous smile. He can charm the knickers off of more or less any woman within 10 miles but is surprisingly awkward *no I'm missing that out too*. He has the merest trace of a Scottish accent, is a computing entrepreneur, and his job in my novel is to *censored for purposes of the forum*.

When my fmc meets my mmc, they are both teenagers, and he is a smart-aleck seventeen year old, who could go *just* this side of the law.

Write down what it is you're thinking, take each day as it comes, you never know what's coming 'round the bend...

So far I have one male character, and he's gay. I think I need to add a romantic lead, but I'm tired of all the chick-lit cliches, it has to be believable to me in order to write it. Hmmm. Any suggestions?

Guy One - Very cute, smart, student, good-looking, really really great friend to the MC but taken. MC still feels a huge connection to him, but he doesn't seem to want to be more than friends.

Guy Two - Gay (cliche, but whatever). MC spends first half of the novel worrying if he fancies her, obviously she doesn't really need to worry in that department, turns out he's just affectionate and swings the other way.

Guy Three - total stud, but not the MCs type (too steroidy, you know.) Not all too smart, wannabe athlete or male model, bad boy kind of thing going on, dating the MCs best friend but seems to have feelings for the MC.

I am trying to figure out the guy in my MC's life. On the one hand, he's very hot, but he's smart and sensitive...but there is a bit of the cad in him too. hmm. He's pretty versatile I guess.

What kind of romantic leads do you find appealing in the books you read? probably not the cliches.
I guess to really avoid the cliches you'd have to ignore Tall, Dark, and Handsome ;-) but otherwise it could be a pretty open field -- I'd say give the guy a set of physical attibutes that are appealing but not god-like-impossible; and personality traits that are attractive [smarts, humor, kindness, whatever] but also some flaws..
...just be careful not to overdo it on the flaws. Whatever he does (or did) wrong, he should be redeemable.
B/c i your MC falls for the guy, you want your readers to love him also, otherwise they'll lose respect for your MC.
