"They're good for each other.
She kinda is her real self with him."

"I’ve always loved the dynamic between Blair and Dan.
With Dan it’s different. They have more meaningful
conversations and she finds something so attractive
about that."

~ Leighton Meester

"I think they will always have feelings for
each other. He loves Blair.
Blair is his soulmate."

Blair, we've been keeping us a secret
because we're afraid there is something more."

that make us a family.
Perhaps it's the people
that know our secrets
and love us anyway.
So we can finally be ourselves."

tftnt! :hug:

any title ideas? :look:

Im never good with titles

Trying to think of one we havent used yet

we're 42 in deep that's kinda hard :lol:

We can think of something though

Rather watch Dair videos right now :lol:

I was re-watching this playlist earlier this week

https://www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...&feature=share

the captions are great

Quote:

30. "Blair Waldorf Must Pie" 1.09

You can't have an ending without a beginning :) Plus I love that Blair's first words to Dan were to keep his hands off Serena.

29. "The Wild Brunch" 1.02 & "Blair Waldorf Must Pie" 1.09

Cedric!!!

28. "Damien Darko" 4.13

One of the few times that Dan back stabs Blair. Gotta love their little physical fights.

27. "Much I Do About Nothing" 1.18

The first time Dan turns to Blair for help.

26. "The Kids Are Not Alright" 4.12

I like how they both know each other so well & call each other out on their weaknesses.

25. "Last Tango Then Paris" 3.22

One of the many talks that will proves to be much more significant to THEIR relationship, than either can realize.

24. "The Unblairable Lightness of Being" 3.18

See Dan, she is not that bad.

23. "The Kids Are Not Alright" 4.12

I know this scene has no Dan/Blair interaction per se, but it is very important to note how Blair views Dan. She "hates" him but is still able to recognize that he is a good man. She sees something in him that Serena doesn't.

22. "The Townie" 4.11

The awkward moment when they realize they like the same things!

21. "Gaslit" 4.10

As much as I hated the Juliet story arc, it is what brought Dan & Blair together in the first place. This scene has many gems. Blair apologizes to Dan which RARELY happens. Plus the hint of a grin on Dan's face at the end is just the cherry on top :)

20. "The Age of Dissonance" 2.18

I HAD to include this scene in the top 20. Their banter is golden!

19. "The Townie" 4.11

They already act like an old married couple lol. I also liked how Blair points out all the things Dan is willing to do for Serena, and she is the only one who points out that he should give it a rest already.

18. "While You Weren't Sleeping" 4.16

If it was this hard for Blair to admit to needing Dan, imagine how hard it will be for her to say "I love you."

17. "Damien Darko" 4.13

How can such a casual scene be so rich and fun to watch? Dan and Blair don't need a scandal or "epic" story arc to make them interesting. Just give them some coffee and something to debate about and you have good tv.

16. "Pret-A-Poor J" 2.08

Again some really epic foreshadowing on Dan's part.

15. "Damien Darko" 4.13

The first time Blair admits to their "fake friendship." I think this scene also shows Dan a different side of Blair. She works hard to get what she wants and is really trying to be a better person.

14. "The Unblairable Lightness of Being" 3.18

DAN WANTS WHAT'S BEST FOR BLAIR. And the shot of Eleanor and Cyrus doing shots with Dan is priceless as well.

13. "Empire of the Son" 4.17

It is a bittersweet scene. They both really want to be friends, but neither wants to admit it.

12. "The Kids Are Not Alright" 4.12

The entire scenario really sets up the Dair scene. Blair notices Dan and they both pick up on their unspoken problems. Each offers the other advice and Blair learns something. A very good Dair scene that touches on every thing that makes them great.

11. "Jewel of Denial" 5.03

It seems that Blair keeps turning to Dan and here she finally admits why. Maybe one day she will actually thank him.

10. "Empire of the Son" 4.17

Everything about this scene worked. The song, Dan's hesitation, Blair's "for crying out loud Humphrey!" and of course that freeze frame that leaves the audience daring to Dair.

9. "Memoirs of an Invisible Dan" 5.04

For those who say Dair has no chemistry, they need to watch this scene! While this moment didn't actually happen, it does show how Dan feels about Blair, and how he would've wanted things to play out. Blair's feelings seem to be more apparent towards the end though ...

8. "It-Girl Happened One Night" 4.15

I think the entire scene really sets up the moment and shows that Dan and Blair don't just act on whims. Blair is hurt by how easily Chuck gives his heart to another girl. Dan can see that, he knows how it feels. He straightens his tie, hesitates, and then slowly goes in for the hand hold. Blair is not ready yet, but it looks like she seriously second guessed letting go.

7. "It-Girl Happened One Night" 4.15

A classic Dair scene with a little "When Harry Met Sally" thrown in.

6. "While You Weren't Sleeping" 4.16

This scene is a lot like the "dictator of taste" scene. But I included this one in the top ten because it is the first time Blair goes to Dan's loft for herself and not Serena. Plus sleeping on the couch together was a precious moment for fans and I believe converted many a Dair shipper.

5. "Yes, Then Zero" 5.01

DAN REALIZES HE IS IN LOVE WITH BLAIR

4. "Riding in Town Cars with Boys" 5.10

I considered putting this scene in the bottom ten only because it seems really one-sided on Dan's part. However, it does show the audience the extent of his love and of course all loft scenes are golden.

3. "Beauty and the Feast" 5.02

Speaking of loft scenes! The look that Blair gives Dan after he says she will still have him, is not a look I have seen her give anyone else on the show.

2. "Riding in Town Cars with Boys" 5.10

Dan and Blair share their first hug. And even though he smells like onions, and she is crying over another man, I think they both have a moment where they ask themselves if this is really happening.

This is also the moment where Dan goes directly against all his former advice to "take a risk and maybe have everything", "follow the signs", and of course the "she'd know how I felt."This moment changes Gossip Girl from being a flighty teen drama, to a lesson on how to love.

1. "Bad News Blair" 1.04

This scene gets better with age. The writers have admitted that this was the first time they even considered Blair and Dan as a couple. If Penn and Leighton hadn't done such a fantastic job here, we might have never known Dair. In this moment Blair is just an emotional girl and Dan is just a guy who wants to help. How could they ever know that 4-5 years from then that they would be where they are now.

I know what I'm doing for the next few days. Thanks so much for that

Some of my favorite scenes of them

Best facial expressions

Comedy gold these two were
