'New Girl': Gratuitous photos of Ryan Kwanten's Valentine's Day episode

Is that such a bad thing, though? Okay, fine. Here's a little context: The "True Blood" hunk says that it was his idea to appear on the show. 

"I was very much a fan of the show anyway, so I sort of reached out to them through my agent, and said, 'Listen, if there was ever an opportunity to ever get on the show, I'd love to be able to work with Zooey [Deschanel] ... She is the cutest," Kwanten tells the hosts at "Good Day LA."

Below, check out several shots of Kwanten in action as Oliver, the dude Jess meets at a bar on Valentine's Day in an attempt to have a one night stand. Knowing the character, we're not sure things will go as planned.
