^ Agreed, as I keep mentioning, the only way Xander/Buffy would've worked was if the romance got developed more in season 4 and you eliminate Riley from the picture. Or even a slow build season 3, while Angel is on his way out. After season 5, I felt it was a bit too late.

Xander and Buffy always felt like brother and sister to me so I never wanted them paired but I definitely would of taken them being paired over that abusive and toxic affair she had with Spike.

^ Buffy was Xander's first love (despite how she was besotted with Angel at the time), so I always thought it would have been a nice, full-circle thing if she had finally realized that she was in love with him by the end of the show. I honestly really liked the family set-up that was going on between them in 'Lessons', such as Xander driving Dawn to school and checking in on them at the Summers' home.

For me, there's something about Buffy & Xander that feels like they could have happened any time. Whether they're teenagers or adults, it just feels like they just could have been this sudden realization that there was something a little bit more to their friendship

Xander would have been better for Buffy in Season 4 while Anya could've gotten together with Giles.

^ The chemistry between Giles and Anya in the Tabula Rasa episode was off the charts
Tia, I completely agree that Season 4 would have been a great time to bring Buffy and Xander together romantically. I cannot fathom what they were thinking by putting her with Riley ...The only thing that made sense about it was that he was one of the Initiative gang who was masquerading as her TA. There was a link to the Slayer stuff that made him less vulnerable as her partner. That said, they didn't make much sense together and I don't recall Sarah talking fondly of the relationship Anybody who watches THE FRESHMAN - I dare you not to feel affected by Xander's big speech about Buffy being his "hero."

It's excruciating that they wasted time on Xander/Willow in Season 3 when you think of how they never gave Xander/Buffy a chance __________________

OMG, I know, I still don't get the point of the Xander/Willow 'romance' & it still makes my skin crawl during rewatches
Buffy/Xander are all over 4x01, I really love seeing them work as a team & him giving her the strength to fight again __________________

Xander replacing Riley in Season 4? Sure why not. I loved Anya/Xander but okay.

Xander has rejected WIllow time and time again just to go after Buffy and Cordelia.

The problems there were that Buffy was under a spell, was still hung up over Angel, and was into her missions.
