We don't know much about Colin, but seeing as Lisa doesn't like Milhouse at all (and is annoyed by him most of the time) I'd vote for Colin anyway. She really seemed to like him in the movie, so...

I wouldn't know any other characters who share the same interests and hobbies as she does. Most of the characters that do have the same interests are either too old or one-timers.

Colin of course,,, for now... I'm sure she'll meet other boys in future. But she will probably always go for enviromentally conscious, animal friendly, rebellious and (possibly) musician types like herself. 

Suusje, she also liked Milhouse when he was helping her with Italian. In other words she likes Milhouse when he's not acting like Milhouse. 

Speaking of Milhouse and his unrequited love.... I found this funny thing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d1AVUJ5MxYs

Well, from my different and unregular thoughts about the subject of Milhouse' fit to Lisa, I've not sure at the end. Milhouse seems to be haunting for Lisa, like a stalker in some cases. I am not surprised with Lisa's denial of him. At the end, who is he? Nothing, but a usual boy with some crazy idea of love from such uncommon girl, like many of members here. I don't think he's really worthy of her strong untaking him as the worthwile. Lisa should be at least even more objective. But it's only my personal thought. It's not that I'm for undeserved love from Lisa's side, not at all. Still I think, if Milhouse cannot reach her real attention, it's only his own fault, and nothing else. He should be more of her lifelooks, should pay more attention to lifeproblems, that exists in the world, for he can see that such subject is really interesting to his unreciprocated passion. And, of course, he should think very hard about his own person, what qualities Lisa don't like in him. Still, if he simply can't change himself, at least he should ....pretend to make sure Lisa, that he's really deserving attention. But, again, his first actions must be adressed to environmentalism, social and psychological problems. It can be looking strange, but to reach her he must be ready to reject her for sake of those problems. Only after that she [maybe] gives him a slight good look.

And what I can say about Colin. Well, he seems to be an ideal couple to her, he's full of principles that Lisa takes high, his tastes coincides with hers and he loves nature, animal, plays own music... I think it's the perfect type what Lisa-fans should try to reach in perspective. I'm fully confident he's a vegetarian, goes to meetings, takes part in various movements (to say his first appearance in movie was perfect witness of that). And by the way - he's smart boy It's not a mystery why Lisa had a crush on him from first minutes of seeing.
Not a bad sides of him, but some questionable items that arise in my memory cotained in his birth and so sudden appearance. He mentioned that his father was a musician from Ireland, maybe the one who already cared about nature and who simply rendered his assistanse on his son. So Colin became really interested in such question person. What I'm trying to say, he had an inclination to such stuff almost from his birth, being a kid in such family. (yes, I remember, what kind of family has fostered Lisa in opposition to Colin) The thing that we maybe never know is what about Colins past - how he raised such qualities in himself, how he dealed with others, with children for they not mocking him, was he a "fighter" or just calm nerd like Lisa most the times she's in the school. His musical talents should take much of free time from him, but he's not strong attached to some instrument, he's a kind of multiinstrumentalist, like Lisa, but I dont think both of they will become someday a great musicians (but it's not ruled out).

So, summing it, I think at present time Colin is the ideal deal for Lisa (*envies*). Only if Milhouse will chage something with himself (be it real things or just another performance from him) maybe there will be some changes. Or not.

Amen!!!!

It is a difficult question. On one hand Milhouse would be a loyal and dedicated boyfriend who would do any thing that she wanted him to, but I really don't think that she wants that from that kind of relationship (maybe from her parents), so I think that Colin would be a better boyfriend. They share a love of the environment and music and get along really well and have so much in common. Also, Lisa likes him back which is more than we can say for poor Milhouse...

Well, looking at the results, i guess Colin will be Lisa's soulmate in the end, despite how little we could see on the movie compared to how much we know about Milhouse. Not that i complain Colin's a great guy for Lisa.

Nobody voted for Milhouse? *scratches head* Aw, poor little nerd.

Agreed about Milhouse, but maybe you'll give one more change to Colin? We didn't see him much yet, and I had a different opinion about him after watching the Movie. What attracted me the most, is how caring and understanding he was with Lisa. A boy who's so gentle with the character you like, cannot be bad... unless it's an evil plan to gain Lisa's attention and trust, then do something unexpected to her. But in any case, I wouldn't claim him too boring.

MilChaos
Yeah, but we probably won't see Milhouse like that ever again. Milhouse has been pushed around by Bart and other kids from Spingfield Elementary for long, it's kind of hard to think different of him. So I still think Milhouse is a loser.

Colin might be a bit boring for Lisa, because they have so much in common. And they do say opposites attract. Maybe Milhouse still has a chance (although I prefer he doesn't)

You know, this thread has made me feel even more sorry for Milhouse than usual... He is a nice guy, but he still needs to find his own way in the world and stop doing as others tell him all the time. A good example of this is in 'Radioactive Man' when he decides that he no longer wants to be playing Fallout Boy and runs away. If he stood up for himself a lot more I think that he would be a really good character. Lisa might even consider him to be a decent partner. We shall just have to wait and see what crazy plots Matt Groening has planned for us...

Umm... unless I missed something, Milhouse's parents are still alive. Are we talking about a Treehouse of Horror episode here? If so, that changes things.

Ah, I see now Thanks for explaining.

Can't agree more.

Why? Colin seemed to be honest with Lisa in the Movie. Unless you meant that his character wasn't developed enough in the Movie... but it still was, to some degree, and Lisa liked him (and I did, too (not what you think )).

Of course old Ralph, Ralph from the older seasons, would fit Lisa much better than current one. But I'm not sure he would be the perfect candidate. What if he grows up into another Wiggum? Sarah doesn't look very happy in her marriage to me.

despises a man with good feelings ?.... 
Wiggun is a good man .. (A bit stupid) but a good man ... Not perfect in the world ... And is very important understand the feelings of all ....

This is a defect of Lisa .... She should also understand the importance of everyone, not forgetting the importance of the people who loved...

and yeah... you are right GeorgeHarrison    "there exists no character at this point in time who could ever be the "right person" for Lisa" 

(by the moment)

Beautiful sentence, and very symbolic too.

I think Lisa can find her love in future. Not today of course, while she's in school. Somewhere away from Springfiled like it was in Weddin'-episode. But only with a difference now it will be real love. But in her school there's no worthy couple for her, or at least as she thinks by herself. Still I can't say I want to see her as marry in the sequel. It's rather interesting to see her as a smart girl than a smart wife of someone. So I'm definitely for the continuation of her character without too much relations with men (or boys).
