Who is Ted Mosby in How I Met Your Mother?
The architect of the longest story ever told · The Apartment
Ted Mosby (The architect of the longest story ever told) is a character in How I Met Your Mother, part of The Apartment. Ted Mosby is twenty-seven, an architect, and catastrophically in love with the idea of being in love — the kind of man who says 'I love you' on a first date and means it. Spurred by his best friends' engagement, Ted launches the search for The One with the methodical romanticism of someone designing a building: blueprints, grand gestures, a stolen blue French horn. The story he will one day tell his kids starts here, at MacLaren's, with a girl named Robin — who, he warns them upfront, is not their mother.
