~ How We Feel About Dan/Penn ~

He's smart, sexy, witty, protective, and such a sweet boyfriend. He doesn't let fame get to his head.
He can take any role whether it be a sensitive soul, other "loser" brother, or a bad ass and still make you love him in the end. -B(YourToHold)

There is alot of reasons I guess. But one of them is that he is so down to earth and doesn't let the fame go to his head.
And i just love his sense of humor and the fact he is good to look at doesn't hurt either.- Sara(mylu)

Penn is such a talented actor not to mention witty, smart, and hot. He's so laid back and dedicated to his work that each role is special to him.
He makes Dan such a great character to watch and root for. -Dana(upchitzcreek)

I love that Penn is confident in playing Dan. Even though the character can be vulnerable, Penn always plays him to perfection.
He makes me love Dan more and want to be there to constantly cheer him on to be a better person and for Penn, a better actor. - Stacy

~ Memorable Quotes ~

{pilot} I don't read Gossip Girl. That's for chicks.

Jenny: Come on, Dan, Serena said hi to you at a ninth grade birthday party and you've never forgotten it.
Dan: How could I? She was the only person who spoke to me.

Dan: You'll really go out with some guy you don't know?
Serena: Well, you can't be worse than the guys I do know.

{the wild brunch} Chuck: This isn't over.
Dan: Any time. That one black eye looks a little lonely.

{high society} Gossip Girl: This just in - we hear there's a cold war brewing between Lonely Boy and a certain blue blood.
We never thought we'd say this ourselves...
Serena: There you are. What's going on?
Dan: I'll tell you what's going on. I just became your escort to the ball.
Gossip Girl: ... But our money's on Brooklyn for the win!

{roman holiday} Rufus: My son, the writer.
Alison: Published writer.
Jenny: Yeah, you got your dream girl and you're star of the New Yorker. Maybe you should just die now.
Dan: It's true. I may have peaked.

{school lies} Dan (to Vanessa): Well, if you wanted to get the perfect shot of me feeling like an outsider, I'm ready for my close-up.

{desperately seeking serena} Rufus: You used to cry when I didn't walk you to school.
Jenny: That wasn't me, that was Dan.
Dan: I was six. It was a very emotional time for me, post-tee ball.

{the dark night} Dan: Serena... I still ...
Serena: I know. Me too.
[elevator door closes]
Serena: ... I love you.

{the ex files} Jenny: It was like I didn't even exist!
Dan: Mmm. Welcome to my world. It's not so bad when you get used to birds flying at your head and automatic doors never opening.
Dan: Google revenge and you get BlairWaldorf.com.
Dan: You should put a bell on.
Chuck: Kinky. I'll think about it.

{the serena always rises} Dan: If I have to exploit people to be a good writer, then maybe I don't want to be a good writer.
