10. Lacroix and Nat are both smarter than Nick.
9. Lacroix gave her white roses and a candlelight dinner for Valentine's Day. Nick didn't get her anything, not even a cheesy card.
8. Lacroix is more faithful than Nick. He's only loved one other woman, and he remembers her name!
7. Whatever else you can say about Lacroix, he's not conflicted. If he wanted Natalie, nothing like guilt or angst or fear or personality problems would stand in his way of being with her.
6. Nat's not afraid of Lacroix. She's not impressed by Lacroix. And when necessary, she'll take him down a peg or two, instead of whining, pouting, or accusing him of being a monster.
5. Hotter chemistry. (Okay, this is debatable)
4. No conflict between the doctor/patient relationship and romantic relationship.
3. Natalie's sick of French. Latin is so much more stimulating...
2. They both have slightly dark senses of humor. Whereas Nick has almost no sense of humor whatsoever.
and the number one reason to be a Valentine...
1. Nick and Natalie are neeeeever gonna happen. Nope. Not ever.
