Ah, if you're a puddle of goo at "While I'm around nothing bad's gonna happen to you" (and typically, immediately after that he makes Sam stalk off in disbelief with the suggestion they take his psychic powers to Vegas! Hee!). Well, I say again, Something Wicked will just kill you! And you are almost there... I'm almost anticipating the fannish goo explosion. LOL!
Yeah, Dean really does seem to believe that other people deserve to live more than he does. Even the death of a complete stranger for his sake tears at him. And y'know, even beyond devotedly protecting him just as his kid brother, I think Dean really believes that Sam is more valuable to the world as a person than Dean himself. Cockiness covering up low self-esteem isn't exactly a new idea, but Dean Winchester has it down to an artform - such that it really does take you a while to realise that that is what's going on with him.
And y'know, when you reminded me that you didn't like John Sheppard to start with, I began to wonder if there might be some parallels for you with Dean. They have quite a few traits in common IMHO.
As for "types", I tend to go for geeks and smartarses in equal measure (which is why Rodney hits me with a double whammy). And although he's definitely got the latter quality in spades, I think Dean's about the most ungeeky fan-crush I've ever had. Mind you, I do cling to the fact that he once built an EMF detector out of a Walkman (and the dorky grin as he announced it to Sam). How geeky is that? And yeah, even if not very geeky, Dean definitely has dork value!
Ah, there's just something about Dean Winchester. Something intangible. Not that he doesn't have awesome lashes surrounding amazing eyes of a debated green-grey-hazel colour. And I've never really gone nuts about freckles before, but... damn!
