SUNNYVALE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Taking the spot two years in a row, Jennifer Aniston is the number one female celebrity “dream date” for Valentine’s Day, according to the annual Valentine’s Day survey from omg! from Yahoo!, the number one celebrity news website.

Amongst gay males, Ryan Gosling is the top choice (only ranked #4 by women) and Sandra Bullock earns the spot amongst lesbian women. (Full lists below.)
