Unfortunately, it just wasn't the right time for them, and the relationship had to end. Gavin had great potential and took care of Rachel very well.

3) Tag

A whole lot younger than Rachel, Tag is fun and handsome. He is crazy about Rachel. Rachel hired him as an assistant, and the two shared a brief period of romance.

4) Joey

There was a time when Joey became infatuated with Rachel. But he put his feelings on hold and never spoke about it because he was aware of Ross's affections for Rachel. He eventually reveals his feelings, and the two try out as a couple, but it doesn't go far because of a lack of chemistry. The two remain friends.

5) Paul Stevens

While Ross was dating Paul's daughter, Paul started dating Rachel. The two have a good time and even go away together for a little get-away. But the two fall apart when Rachel tries to get to know him better.

6) Joshua

Rachel and Joshua could be really good together, but Rachel blows her chance with him because of her obsession with Ross and Emily's relationship. Joshua was recently divorced and wanted to take things slow. He was really nice, but Rachel scared him off with her marriage talk. When Joshua came back to give things a second chance, Rachel answered the door in a wedding dress, and that was the end of their relationship.

7) Russ

Rachel briefly dated Russ in season two, episode ten, The One With Russ. However, Russ is literally the same person as Ross, looks-wise and in mannerisms. Rachel does not realize the similarity between Russ and Ross at first, but eventually, it hits her. The two obviously didn't work out.

8) Paolo

When Rachel meets Paolo, she immediately attracts him and starts dating him. This makes Ross incredibly jealous. However, despite his good looks and Italian heritage, Paolo isn't the one for Rachel. Their relationship ends when he makes a pass at Phoebe.

9) Tommy

Played by Ben Stiller, Tommy is well-known as 'The Screamer'. He had major temper issues and wasn't a likable person in general. He often lost his cool and went on a rant which made Rachel break it off with him.

10) Barry Faber
