Grey’s Anatomy
Meredith Grey is the lead lady of the long - run pop aesculapian drama , Grey ’s bod . Considering the series has been on television now for 16 season and reckoning , Meredith has had quite a small numeral of suitors during that period .

Although she and McDreamy were " intend to be , " there were other characters within the show who could have been safe for Meredith .
Mark Sloan
Honestly , after he got passed his womanizing ways , Mark could have been with anyone . He seemed to have chemistry with all of themain cast , and was just fun to watch . Most of the time , Mark brought out the silly side of people , which Mer decidedly need .
In the one-time solar day , Meredith was quite colored and twisting , and Mark could have aid her enjoy her liveliness . After all , Mark was n’t just a goofball ; he had a astonishingly sore side , which Meredith would have appreciated .
Nathan Riggs
Nathan Riggs was one ofGrey ’s Anatomy ’s short - run characters as he appeared for just over two seasons . However , during his shortsighted least sandpiper on the show , he made quite a big encroachment . He was one of the first people who Mer took an interest in after Derek die .
Riggs was Owen Hunt ’s ex - upright Quaker , so initially Meredith tried to avoid him . However , he pursued her and their coquetry was just utterly screaming and adorable . It was no surprise that they last pay off together , but if only they had stayed that means …
Alex Karev
This might be quite a controversial entryway as these two were phenomenal as Quaker . When Cristina Yang left in Season 10 to go to Switzerland , Meredith was in need of a new person . Perhaps not amazingly , Alex Karev stepped up to the plate .
Alex was there for Meredith as her individual for over five years , and the two became unbelievably close . There were some fans who wondered what Alex and Mer would be like as a brace and really , it would have been kind of awesome .
Jackson Avery
Jackson Averyfirst appeared in Season 6 , after Seattle Grace Hospital merged with Mercy West . Initially , he rubbed the original resident the wrong manner , but he soon settle down and became a respectable operating surgeon and a fairly adequate guy .
Meredith and Jackson in reality have quite a slew in rough-cut as they ’re relate to two world - renowned genius surgeon . Slightly more alas is that they both sleep together what have work - obsessed families is like , but at least they could attach over that .
Nick Marsh
Nick Marsh is quite a fantastic character as fans were dire for him to deliver to the show as Meredith ’s lovemaking sake after appearing in only one sequence . Nick was a transplant surgeon who burst after a operation , requiring Meredith to perform it .
Before the operation , he and Meredith bonded by his bedside , and they had such a lovely chat . They had buckets of chemistry , and Nick was a key component in Meredith realizing that she was quick to date again . The show should really bring Nick back and get him and Meredith together properly .
Tom Koracick
Although Tom Koracick has gotten a whole mint more unlikable during time of year 16 ofGrey ’s Anatomy , when he first arrived back in the show ’s 14th season , he was quite a fun character to be around . He did n’t mind being unpopular , and he was never afraid to say what he thought .
In many ways , Meredith is very like to Tom . She always does what she thinks is ripe , damned be the aftermath . If she can help someone , she will , but she does n’t always think about how her actions touch others . Together , Tom and Mer could avail rein each other in .
George O’Malley
George O’Malley had an unrequited crush on Meredith for the first two season of the aesculapian drama , which ended when Meredith cried after they had sex together . However , this is n’t the George that would be a sound fit for Mer .
In Season 5 , Owen Hunt remarked that George was becoming a fine trauma surgeon . He was able to stay calm and reckon rationally , and make tough choices in a schism second . George became more sure-footed and acknowledge what he wanted , and this version would be quite compatible with Meredith .
Andrew DeLuca
Derek Shepherdwas a brilliant operating surgeon and an adore hubby and father . It ’s no wonder that Meredith scramble to move on after he choke . However , Derek was by no mean perfect . He could be petty , moody and boy , could he concord a grudge .
He did care about Meredith deeply , but not always enough to consider her needs above his own . Andrew DeLuca may be many things , but he has always care about Meredith . He even went to jail for her after she send put-on , which Derek would have never done .
Link
Link was only introduced in Season 15 , and at first , he seemed to only exist as rivalry for Mer ’s tenderness . Both he and DeLuca asked Meredith out , which form a uncanny form of love triangle that no one quite buy into .
However , Link did start out to become more three - dimensional after he started date Amelia . If that translation had decease after Meredith , perchance he would have stood a better prospect . Link was an absolute sweetheart , but he also knew how to deal a little mo of gaga , which Mer sometimes needs .
Cristina Yang
If there is one person in the entireGrey ’s Anatomyuniverse that Meredith should have been with more than Derek , it ’s Cristina Yang . They were only ever booster in the show , but imagine what they would have been like together if they had developed feelings for each other .
They would have made for a very shipworthy mates . Not to mention the fact that they would always be there for each other while remaining sensitive enough to bid up a few home true statement every now and then .
