Look for a guy who is talked about by others in the nicest possible way. A guy who everyone has something good to say about, even if the people talking about him might actually be a little jealous.

Look for a guy who is ‘in demand.’ Someone who is always invited to parties and dinner, sent Christmas cards every year, remembered on his birthday, etc.

However, at the same time, he should be a guy who isn’t necessarily thrilled with this attention. He should be a guy who would prefer not to really be noticed if possible.

The fictional Mr. Darcy is liked and envied by a lot of the people around him, for different reasons. Some people are jealous of his wealth. Others wish they had his property and inheritance. The important thing, however, is that Mr. Darcy does not go looking for this attention. In fact, he hates it. A modern-day Mr. Darcy should be the same way. He should be someone who is admired and liked by those around him, but from a distance. He should also be uncomfortable with that admiration and wish it would go away. He should also be someone who others envy and wish they could be.
