Kind of a silly question I know, but could you? I'm willing to bet that at one time or another we've all thought about it at least once or twice.

For me, I think I actually have been dating Buffy in my head for a few years now lol.
 
Riley Finn! 😉 😀

Looks-wise on the show, there were several boys who I would have found attractive enough that I would have been somewhat interested, but Riley is the only characters who's personality I can see myself liking enough to actually date.
 
No.

Buffy dating advice 2012 edition

Buffy
No. No. No. No. She's a murderer. A rapist. She will never be truly happy again because she already was in heaven. She's immature and she will NEVER grow up because that would make the two most popular love interests IRRELEVANT. She's also pretty ****ed up, that's not really her fault, two deaths and years of slaying will do that to you, but still. She can't get over her exes. She doesn't know what to do with her life, she never learns, she pushes people away, she doesn't have any dreams or hopes, she can't even figure out her own sexuality. She's utterly boring, she doesn't even have a hobby and her life is basically a constant B-movie horror. That's way too much shit for any normal, healthy person to deal with. I'm sorry Buffy.

Willow
A mind-controlling rapist. A murderer. A sadist. A drug addict. Also, she kinda tried to destroy the world. She will cheat on you with her best friend and her crack dealer and/or a demon. Also, she's obsessed in an unhealthy way with Buffy Summers, her so called best friend, you will always be the second most important person in her life, always. Be ready to deal with her complexes, traumas and insecurities. Obviously she's hot but...No, just no.

Anya
Mass murderer, money-loving materialist and a massive boor. Mostly devoid of any personality. No way I would date her.

Angel/Spike
Murderers and rapists. Dead monstrosities. Immature and irresponsible despite being hundreds of years old. One of them is a borderline pedophile, the other had sex with a robot and build a masturbatory shrine, plus his poetry is rubbish. Did I mention they are dead? And...do you really want me to date a corpse, what is wrong with you?

Drusilla
Murderer, dead and insane, very high maintenance. No, thanks.

Riley
A boring yokel, also married. No.

Faith
A murderer. A rapist. Emotionally immature and practically incapable of love. Faith's a mess, she needs a therapist not a partner. I'm not fixing her, thank you very much.

Xander
A rapist. Other than that he seems OK, handsome, hardworking guy with a huge heart, you know, when he's not dating a 5 year old that's not even real. Will cheat on you and leave you at the altar. Obsessed with Buffy Summers, will always risk his life, health and eyeball for her. Sorry Xander, you're hot and I'm a fellow geek so similar interests but I don't want to be the runner-up in your life.

Oz
A musician, a werewolf and generally the coolest guy ever. Used to eat people alive at fool moon, fortunately was able to cure his condition. Sadly, he's married. Bummer.

Tara
Now we're talking! Tara's a responsible, caring and very loyal adult with a great, loving, quirky personality. Also, she is ridiculously hot and I mean ridiculously, even her somewhat questionable fashion sense doesn't tarnish her hotness. She looks like she's high most of the time because she probably is but she's very spiritual and again, responsible about drug use. Great gal. Sadly, she's dead.

Joyce
Beautiful smile and a great sense of humor. Utterly fearless artistic soul and a kick ass mom. Of course, she's dead.

Giles
A murderer. I notice a pattern here, all the good people are dead, what the hell? Anyway, Giles is a very handsome, analytical and intelligent guy with a classy musical taste and an awesome voice. Did I mention handsome, Rupert is just so hot. So would I? Nope. You know what's the problem with Giles, other than being a dead wanker of course? His relationship with Buffy Summers. Poor chap doesn't know if he wants to be her friend, her father or her lover. I'm not waiting for him to figure that out.

Dawn.
Four words. She is not real. Her entire existence is a cruel manipulation and that's all there needs to be said. Too bad because she's really attractive and not as crazy as her sister.

Wow, do these people suck 🙂

How in the world is Xander a rapist??? What did I miss?

Buffy and Xander are rapists? Hmm, maybe we're watching different shows...

Not sure if trolling or being funny, it works for me though:)
I would say the Buffyverse girls I'd most like to date, in order, would be:
Willow [gay]
Joyce [dead]
post-graduation Cordelia [dead]
Fred [hot demon goddess]

Hmmmm... okay, maybe Illyria. 🙂
 
I would marry the arse off Riley Finn. He is essentially my perfect guy.

Or Gunn. I'd absolutely date Gunn.
 
By the time she leaves the show, Tara is pretty much my ideal woman. Intelligent, caring, quietly confident, quirky and cute. And not in dire need of a cheeseburger 🙂

Wow... Are you even a fan of the show?? Geez...

I would totally date Riley or Xander. 🙂 Riley's a downhome family man with a big heart, not to mention a that gorgeous grin. 😉 And Xander is funny, brave, and just a little bit dorky on top of being absolutely adorable, which I love.

Of course I am a fan. Since when being a fan precludes criticism and strong opinions? You know what, I hate this elitist

LOVE EVERYTHING OR **** OFF YOU'RE NOT A TRUE FAN™

attitude. It alienates people and turns a discussion board into a shill-ridden circle jerk, just look at other boards about Buffy, they are worthless.

Look, I love the show but it doesn't stop me from noticing all the crap and all the nonsense it's full of. I don't have to like the characters to be a fan and I don't need to want to date them. Also, nothing in my post is untrue, facts and some strong opinions. If that's all that turns me into a non-fan then so be it, I'll deal.

Actually it is not all facts, lol. You are just putting everyone in the worst light possible.

First of all, I never said you have to love everything about the show. Secondly, not everything in your post is fact. You called Xander a rapist, and he definitely never raped anyone in the show. And when did he date a "5 year old that's not even real"? Oh, nevermind... You're attempting to be funny/insult Dawn.
We're all entitled to our own opinions, of course... I just don't understand how someone who claims to be a fan of the show would find so much joy in ripping apart and exaggerating every flaw of the characters. But to each his own. That's not what this thread is about, so... Back on topic.

Out of the girls, I'd date Dawn and Buffy. I don't like any of the rest of them enough to date them.

How in the world is Xander a rapist What did I miss?

What he does in "The Pack" is an attempted rape. The only reason Buffy wasn't raped is her being The Slayer. Then in "Bewitched, Bothered & Bewildered" he comes up with a genius idea to brain-wash Cordelia with a love spell. Magic in Buffy is a thinly wailed drug metaphor, a love spell is a date rape drug.

Oh, but he didn't use Willow and Buffy.

Yeah, he still accidentally added that special something to their drinks. It doesn't make him any better.

Because they are flawed. They are messy, ****ed up, and often utterly disgusting. They're not good, they're not even decent. I simply try to see them for what they are and what they are isn't pretty.

You can't use "The Pack" as a valid argument; he was possessed. And as far as the spell goes, he wasn't asking her to have sex with him; he just wanted her to love him again.

Ooookay, I think we're getting a little off-topic here (way off topic...), so let's just agree to really, really, really disagree. Clearly there's some fire here so if you want to start a thread about it, that's probably the way to go. I can pretty much guarantee you'll get some responses. In fact, I can pretty much guarantee that I'll give a very detailed response about everything...um...inaccurate what your posts.

Until then, I was kinda designing this thread to have some fun, which most of the posts have been, so let's try and steer this quickly sinking ship back to less angry waters.

(And even with just about everything you said, I'd still date Buffy. In a heartbeat)

Well said.
Hmmm..... I am extremely attracted to many characters. 🙂 So...with that in mind....

I would date....

Buffy!!!!
Spike
Cordy
Gwen!!!!
Gunn
Wes
Illyria
Harmony
Connor
Dawn
Kennedy
Faith


that's all I can think of for now.... and I know some of those are gonna get me lambasted by some 🙂

You little hussy!
Cordy or Buff. 😉 I think Cordy would be more fun to be around in general, though.
 
Abbeycat

I knew you'd say that.
Angel or Oz 🙂 not just cause of looks but

Angel Cause he always protect me so whenever someone tries to attack me he be there in a second, he would love me for me that he wouldn't care what I look like (like in Earshot when he says I love you even if your covered with slime), he gets along with my best friend, he tells me he loves me, yes the loosing soul would be a issue but my witch friend will always bring it back haha.

Oz Cause he is so caring, he would become friends with my friends, love me when being a nerd, he likes rock music like I do, he is chilled out like me and is very scarasitic like me 😀
 
I date lots of different types of men. I could probably date Oz because of the music connection, although I'm not that attracted to him, so maybe not? Maybe after a few drinks? I would definitely date Scott. He was a sweet heart and handsome to boot. Riley would make a great boyfriend as well. I would probably date Spike but it wouldn't last, we're both to firey.
 
It would be fun to take Faith out for dinner and discuss the Secret Of Steel and the merits of her Gil Hibbin Jackal versus my Iron Mistress Bowie, also made by Hibbin (those are knives, for anyone who might not know)
 
Giles!
😀
Even though, honestly, he's too old for me, and I'd probably not actually consider him in real life.

Maybe Oz? He's a nice guy. The height difference alone would be amusing. 🙂

Though, actually, with the age I am now...Giles would probably be more appropriate!
