(I don't know how you guys feel about magazines like Star Magazine, so if me posting articles from their site ticks you off, PM me and I'll totally take it off and replace it with a pic ;D. Oh, and I don't think it's been posted before.)[/color]
I was searching for Luke Wilson articles, and I came across this one on the Star Magazine site. It's kinda interesting...

LUKE WILSON LOOKING FOR LOVE
COOL HAND Luke Wilson, who gets to play lover boy with some of Hollywood's hottest actresses in four of this summer's biggest movies, is worried that time's running out and he'll never find the woman of his dreams.
"At my age, my father had three sons, and I've wanted my own family," says the boyishly handsome 31-year-old actor, who appears opposite Kate Hudson in Alex & Emma; Reese Witherspoon in Legally Blonde 2: Red, White & Blonde; Penelope Cruz in Masked & Anonymous, and Cameron Diaz in Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle.
"Though my characters in Alex & Emma and Old School are commitment-phobic, I'm not. I'm a family man without a family," he says.
But even Luke admits he's got a lot of odd quirks that could be keeping him from wedded bliss.
"You don't have to know me very well to see I'm less laid-back than I seem," he says. "I chew toothpicks. I take the second or third newspaper in a stack -- if there's only the last one, I may not read it.
"When I was young, I was a little pyro. My parents asked me what I wanted for my birthday, and I would say 'matches or a lighter.' They would give me Lincoln Logs and I'd build them and burn them down.
"And I'm also a real watch-checker," Luke adds.
"The head doctor says that's because I'm obsessed with my own death. I feel I'm running out of time."
Friends of the hunky actor agree. Despite going out with gorgeous women like Gwyneth Paltrow and Drew Barrymore, his closest confidants say Luke is his own worst enemy when it comes to finding the right relationship. "When Gwyneth dated Luke, they always had fun, but she's one of the most conservative women in show business, and Luke's weirdness drove her nuts," one source reveals.
"When he was with Drew, we all thought he'd met his match. She's quirky and wacky, too, but after a few months, she'd had her fill.
"Luke is very anxious to find Mrs. Right, and sometimes that anxiety tends to scare women away.
"Poor Luke, he's so lonely and would love to settle down, but he'd better lighten up or he'll end up as one of those perpetual bachelors."
And that's sad, because a close friend of his from St. Mark's High School in Dallas tells Star:
"Luke has never been the kind of guy who dates a lot of girls at the same time. He's a one-woman man.
"He never dates the groupies who come up to him simply because he's famous. He's much more interested in finding the woman of his dreams and falling in love."
"Lots of Hollywood hotties have tried to 'fix' Luke up, to help give him the confidence he needs, and, for some reason, he seems to lack," says a friend.
"But they always end up dumping him. A little bit of Luke goes a long way. He has a lot of little quirks that can drive women nuts, and he's very set in his ways."
And Luke's stepping up his search, now that he's hit his thirties. He says he finds himself wondering with more urgency: "Where am I going? Where have I been? Why don't I have a family?"

I dunno...they kinda make him seem ... well .... pathetic ("But they always end up dumping him..."?).
Anyways, I love this quote from the article:
lol I just think it's kinda funny coming from Luke.
What do you guys think about the quote?
