How Well Do You Know Ted's Girlfriends On How I Met Your Mother?

627 Shares

If you didn't know, Ted Mosby, from How I Met Your Mother can be a bit of a romantic. In fact, he is most definitely a head in the clouds romantic. So much so that he managed to tell his kids a nine-season-long story about how he met their mother.

Even within that story, Ted had other romantic interests that he thought might be "The One". Of course, his romantic actions towards these women would often come back to hurt him.

Sometimes he came on way too strong, like by saying "I think I'm in love with you" on the first date. Other times he would make a mistake and even cheat, and he would even get left at the alter.

Poor Ted has been through a lot of heartbreak, but that is what happens when you wear your heart on your sleeve, and that is just what Ted did with all of his girlfriends.

While his buddy Barney was busy with one night stands, and Marshall was busy being married, Ted was stuck in the middle of nowhere looking for a serious relationship and a girl he could settle down with.

Ted sure has had a lot of interesting girlfriends throughout the series, but Ted managed to survive all of those relationships and ended up meeting the woman that would become the mother of his children.

When Zoey realized that she had feelings for Ted, while still being married, she tried to off set this by setting him up with her cousin. Her cousin, who had a name but was referred to as Honey, was so gullible that you just needed to say "Oh, honey" and feel bad for her because she believes in what these guys tell her.

Question 16

What is the name of Robin's young and quirky co-host that Ted ended up dating?

When Robin was a news reporter, she ended up getting a co-host that she wasn't too fond of. While Robin was a professional and mature reporter, her co-host would play off her cute and childish side to make an impression on viewers and guys. Her personality got Ted interested because she made him feel like he was needed, but her childish behavior was too much for Ted when he saw a parent treating a child the same way he was treating her. What is the name of that co-host?

Question 17

What costume did the girl that Ted met at a Halloween party wear?

Ted, being the romantic that he is, used to wait at the same lame Halloween party on the roof every year. This was because he once met a girl there that he thought was the one, but he ended up losing her number when a kid took the piece of candy she wrote her number on. So, in a desperate attempt to see her again, Ted would go to that same party hoping to see her again. Ted often described her by the costume she was wearing; what was the costume?

Question 18

Which girlfriend burned Ted's red cowboy boots?

Ted was a big fan of his red cowboy boots. While the rest of the gang claimed he needed to throw them out because he would never wear them and because he looked ridiculous in them, Ted was convinced that he could pull them off. His confidence even rose when a gay couple agreed that he was pulling them off. However, the red cowboy boots ended up in flames after a bad break up thanks to which of Ted's old girlfriends?

Question 19

Which girlfriend cheated on Ted throughout college?

Ted had a pretty snobby girlfriend throughout college. He dated her sporadically as they were on and off repeatedly. This was mainly due to the fact that she would cheat on him with strangers, and to make matters worse, she would do it in his own bed. When the two ended up dating in the future, Ted actually ended up being the guy that she was cheating with. She was just all around bad news for Ted's romantic life. What was her name?

This girl brought out the romantic in Ted from the start. Who is she?

Question 21

Where did Ted meet Victoria?

Ted's first serious relationship in the series was off to a great start. He and Victoria had an incredible night together, and even though he did not know her name, he and the gang were able to track her down afterwards and they started dating. They dated until Victoria got a job in Germany, and the whole long distance thing just became too much for Ted. The breakup was messy, but the beginning was perfect. Where did these two first meet?

Question 22

What gift does Ted track down for Robin to have at her wedding with Barney?

Despite Robin marrying one of his best friends, Ted still clearly has feelings for Robin. This is the main reason why he is moving to Chicago after Barney and Robin's wedding. However, Ted still wants Robin to be happy on her wedding day, so he went through so much trouble to track down an old gift she had buried but could not find when she tried to dig it up. Even though Ted gave it to Barney to give to Robin, Robin still knew Ted was the one that found what?

Question 23

What is the name of the one girlfriend that was universally disliked by the gang?

Lily once told Ted that she did the "Front Porch Test" for all of his girlfriends, and most of them did not pass, including this one. Lily and Marshall made it clear that they hated this girlfriend of Ted's, while Barney and Robin hated her from what they had heard about her in the past. Her snobbish attitude and demeanor seemed to rub everyone but Ted the wrong way. Thankfully, Ted ended things with her when she told Ted never to see his friends again. Who was this girl?

Question 24

Which one of Ted's girlfriends ended up dying in the series?

Despite How I Met Your Mother being a comedy, there was in fact some tragedy in the series. We saw heartbreaking moments like when Marshall found out his dad died, or when Barney confronted his father for never being there for him, or when Ted got left at the altar. All were sad, and this scene was no different. One of the people that Ted loved most tragically died due to illness. Which one of Ted's past girlfriends ended up dying?

Question 25

Where did Ted meet Tracy a.k.a. The Mother?

The most important story told in this series is how Ted met the mother. This may be why the show was called "How I Met Your Mother". That is just a guess though.

It was raining and they had struck up a conversation about the yellow umbrella that they had both owned. Where did this iconic meeting between the two take place?
