Do you think Buffy belonged with Spike or Angel and Why?

If I had to choose, I’d go with Spike and some days, I even mean it wholeheartedly. Angel was whiny and angsty and after Season 2, even whinier and angstier. Also, Angel’s lame. His hair goes straight up, and he’s bloody stupid.

Spike, though, always seemed like a deeper, more fulfilling, character to me, and he was just plain fun. But I also liked that he and Buffy only really connected again right before the big ending (of course, I haven’t quite gotten to the point in the post-7 comics where Spike is back, so I can’t judge from that angle) That always seemed to be a thing throughout the series- romance, then stop, then try again, then before it really picks up to where it left off, tragedy happens. (Giles with Jenny, Xander with Anya, Willow with Oz, Willow with Tara, etc…) So between Angel and Spike, definitely Spike (and Riley was never relevant to begin with.)

But I think Buffy was never really ready for a long-lasting relationship anyways- it always interfered with everything she was doing, and caused her nothing but trouble. What she should have done was gotten a handle on her destiny package before trying to add the boyfriend expansion packs.
