So, putting yourself in Buffy`s shoes (even if youre a dude), which of her love interests is most like yours? If youre single, use a previous relationship.

I list them all even if not all of them goes for any significant other.

Riley - "Boring" and nice. What can I say, I like nice people. And I'm not an adventure guy. And pretty down to earth. I like that in a girl. I have no need for anything fancy.
Angel - Thinker/Broody and likes to keep in the shadows (no attention seeker) but still full of emotions.
Parker - Because I might fall for his/her act. 🙁 Wouldn't be a long relationship though.
Spike - Well the bad boy or girl in my case can be attractive and they can definitely take you for a ride. But for a relationship, no thank you. Unless a sex buddy counts as a relationship. Season 7 Spike is a bit different but I skip him for now.
 
Let's face it: all of Buffy's boyfriends are darn attractive, we're all secretly jealous at her, even though they are no date-material at all. But wow, they're nice to look at.
 
I suppose, none of them are really like the people I've dated. Riley is possibly the closest, because, you know, he's the most normal. I don't date vampires.

lol.
Good question! I have to say that none of them are really like any of the guys or girls I've dated. I guess Spike would come most close as I've always had a thing for people who act and think like they're the best, and Spike kinda does in some ways.. 🙂 And, I suppose Riley a bit too, as my husband can annoy the hell out of me with his know it all attitude, and Riley really did that too, lol

If we would expand the question to be about other significant others though I'd say that Oz are like my husband in so many ways - calm, a little quite and really smart.

Aww <3 :)
I'm single, but I think I'd choose Riley out of those 3. I like me normal guys. 😀 Not to mention our shipname would be Miley.

But all I have to say is, Rene'e is my Buffy and I'm her Faith. (sw)

to that lsat comment: not if i can help it mwahahahaha ;)
Well, being only able to choose among Buffy's canon boyfriends:

Parker: Total a**hole. Anyone who would compare Buffy, or any other woman, for that matter, to a toilet seat deserves a life of celibacy on Devil's Island.

Riley: Joe College, Captain America, probably the star quarterback on his high school team, blue ribbon 4H Club pig raiser. Too used to being the top dog, best of the best, leader of the pack. He could never accept being Buffy's subordinate.

Angel: Who?

Spike: Well...if I just HAVE to choose somebody for Buffy, I guess he'll do until Duncan Macleod of the Clan Macleod comes along. But I think that she should just use Spike for the most lewd, vile, despicable, perverted sex that she can imagine, and have her true love for the Highlander.
 
Don't, or haven't yet? What if you met a really nice vampire that promised not to bite you on the first date?

Angel promised all sorts of things like not biting but then look what happened. I think Scott could've been good, if things were different. He's seems sweet.

Riley cracks me up.
Oh, Scott's a wuss (not talking about you Scobro!). Now Owen, that might've been good (he has a certain owenosity).

Anyway, oh yeah I've dated all of those types. My husband is probably most like Spike actually, in appearance & personality. So why am I more attracted to Angel? Sigh, the heart wants what the heart wants....

Looove the new banner! Happy halloween to you too! ;)
Spike-Never gona happen. That bravado is fooling no one Willie boy. What exactly is all that posturing overcompensating for. Hmmm?

Angel-I'm too like Angel myself to ever be with another Angel-like character. The relationship would consist of us both brooding about our lack of communication. Not pretty.

Riley-This is probably the person I will end up with. Strong, funny, resilient, loyal. I over complicate everything so I would need someone to untangle the inevitable mess I will make.

Riley doesn't get nearly enough credit for being funny
I've only dated 1 boy...and it was only for a week lmao so there is no comparing hahahaha can i use that as my answer? But if I were to date a guy, I would love to date someone like Spike (sw)

Love your new banner!
My husband is a LOT like Riley... Old-fashioned values, very chivalrous, and he's also a military man. 😉 That's the type of guy I tend to go for. Although looks-wise Angel is definitely more my "type" than any of Buffy's other boyfriends.

really? what kind of military? currently or previously?

I'm not much for the blondes either but, there's always his arms :D
Riley - sweet, nice, caring.. oh yeah, I think I had one of those. I was 6 or something.
Spike - actually, I never dated a blonde guy.. now I kinda want to. LOL.
Angel - well I have to say that my ex, and only serious boyfriend I had was kind of.. well he wasn't stalkerish.. most of the times. But he was suuuuuuper jealous.
Scott - First sight nice boy, then dish you behind your back - sure, couple of them.
Parker - never been in that situation, but give me time, I have one more year and I'll be in college! 😉
 
It'd definitly have to be Riley. I've even had dreams about it. (not that I really dream about guys much... but yeah, for some reason I dreamt about him!) Hahahaha... he reminds me of my ex a little. But a MUCH better guy than my ex. LOL Except at the end... buuuut they only did that to get rid of Riley, so it was stupid and he wouldn't really have done something like that if it weren't for the writers. lol
 
Even tough I never had a boyfriend yet, I can easily imagine who I would prefer to date.

Scott: Well, I don't really like the whole "I dump you because you are not joyful anymore".

Parker: Sure, womanizer can be good-looking and to have some kind of mojo. But I'm not into those popular I get who I want when I want to kind of guy. I'm more attracted by nerdy/shy/geeky kind of guys.

Angel: I don't like him in Buffy and I don't love Bangel more than that. I prefer Angel-I'm-actually-kind-of-clumsy-and-not-so-broody to Angel-hello-salty-goodness-mister-broody-and-hansome.

Spike: I love the fact that, even if he is a bad boy, he is kind of a big loser, like he still was William the Bloody the poor poet no one really understands or care about. It can be quite insane to date him, but I would melt if a guy told me this:

Because it's what love, the way I see it, should be about. About knowing the other and loving him/her whole.

But, my most-datable award goes to...Riley.
As a Buffy-character, he is a bit sparkless. But if you put him in reality...He is sweet, normal, (over)protective, cute, respectful. He's the perfect Teddy-bear boyfriend!

That speech is beautiful, but I can't get over how American he sounds just there
Its interesting to me that more people are leaning toward Riley as the most realistic or most like their own relationships yet Buffy/Riley is not a very popular `ship. Why is that?

Me too! I'm usually the one defending Riley & Briley

I noticed that too. I think people don't like Briley because Riley has this mind set that he's supposed to protect Buffy and what not, and not the other way around. But in a real normal relationship, it's what every girl wants.
 
Well, Riley can't really handle dating a hell of a Slayer like the Buffster and he's less interesting than the others characters, but in real life, he'd be great! It's just that fictionnaly, he doesn't really shine.

I don't agree with this. Every girl in a real normal relationship doesn't want to have a protective boyfriend. Why would a girl want that? I want my partner to be an equal. I want us to take care of and protect each other. But to just want to be on the receiving end I think is belitteling not only yourself but also to demand to much of your partner. I'm proud about being able to stand on my own and I want a partner that understands that and feels the same about him/herself.

The reason a lot of people can relate to Briley I think is 'cause they had the most "normal" relationship. Spuffy was really about unhappy love (even though I love Spuffy I don't think Buffy really loved Spike. Sadly.), and that doesn't usually lead to (hugs and puppies, naaah, kidding, 'couldn't help myself there 🙂) a relationship and Bangel I see more as a teenage first love thing. Which when I think about it should be really relatable, but maybe not something a lot of people can relate to in their current relationship, as many of us allready has experienced that first love.
