Your Date With 'Veronica Mars' Star Jason Dohring in 4 Frame-Worthy Photos

First things first: The No. 1 reason to watch “Veronica Mars" is Jason Dohring (aka Logan Echolls). Let’s just get that straight.

Yes, Kristen Bell’s performance as the titular Mars deserves the credit she receives, ditto to Rob Thomas for creating and writing the show, but Dohring’s wonderfully layered, soulful, and surprising take on the frequently formulaic and uninteresting bad boy character archetype is the stand-out. Need more proof? Take a tour through the countless Tumblr posts, GIFs, and Team Logan mentions on the ol’ Internet and you’ll get the idea.

With the release of the Kickstarter-backed movie looming on the horizon, we here at Yahoo Movies figured what better way to celebrate the cult of Logan than to spend a little time with the man in question? And by “spend a little time” we mean, “Let’s all go on a date with Logan.”

Here’s how we all think it will play out, with many thanks to the unforgettably charming and very game Dohring:

He presents you flowers… on bended knee:

You are: Delighted but nervous.

He is: “Slightly reserved,” Dohring says about Logan’s first date persona. “I don’t know. I know how to play it, not how to say it. [Laughs adorably]. I think there’s a charm there but it’s reserved. Not so open, but complimentary and really looking at you, getting you to look away.”

While taking a sunset stroll, you encounter a puppy, which he must hold and you must photograph:

You are: Dying.

He is: Killing you with the cuteness. And that uncanny ability to smolder right through you. “People talk that up a lot,” Dohring says when we ask if he’s aware of the smolder. “I think when someone can really look at you, really see you and float you their admiration and full attention, that’s pretty great and hard to deal with. It’s like, ‘Oh, man, I feel uncomfortable but it’s nice.’ That’s part of the joy in falling in love I think, right? You have that connection, they’re doing it to you, you’re doing it to them, you just feel this other look. It’s funny.”

You are: Feeling faint.

After more strolling and some window shopping he surprises you with a little blue box:

You are: Trying to breathe.

He is: Trying to decide where to take you next. “Let’s make it a yacht,” says Dohring of the perfect romantic setting. “Or an island. Let’s rent an island for the night, or just go in the sea and anchor off and stare at each other or something like that.”

And now the two of you will live happily ever after:

You are: Speechless.

He is: Your knight in shining armor.

“Veronica Mars" opens in theaters on Friday.

Writer’s note: This last photo was not part of the initial plan. After Dohring, who really might be one of the most lovable, endearing, and good-natured individuals you’ll ever meet, finished posing with our props, I brought up the idea that we want fans to be able to put themselves in a photo with him. I was about to suggest that he pretend to be hugging someone when he pitched his own idea: “How about I pick you up?” which received enthusiastic support from our photo editor, Giana Mucci (for blackmail potential, I realize this now), less-so from me. I responded with a hearty laugh and, “No. No no no.” Before I could protest any further Dohring quite literally swept me off my feet.
