The Myth: Buffy is still in love with Angel
19-Jan-2002
This page based on input from Cynthia.
Buffy's post-Angel experiences with other men contradict this:
- Parker - if he hadn't turned out to be a sleazy, one-night-stand-guy,
Buffy might have had a relationship with him. She certainly thought
that she was entering into a relationship with him. She was attracted
to him, hence her disappointment at his miserable behaviour.
PARKER (teasing now) Because I could stop, if you wanted. Your
choice.
(Buffy shifts around for a better angle. She holds his head in
place, surprising him with her strength. )
PARKER (enjoying it) What are you doing?
BUFFY Making a choice.
(She kisses him. )
From: The Harsh Light of Day (episode 4.03)
- Riley - this was a serious relationship lasting over a year
which involved a lot of intimacy, affection and commitment. And
*ahem* lots of sex too. Buffy was very unhappy when this relationship
ended. [Didn't she even say she chose Riley over Angel at some
point?]
[insert quote here]
- Ben - Buffy contemplated going out with Ben, then rejected the
idea because she decided she was more content being on her own
at that time.
Buffy has now shown three times that she is more than willing to
move on emotionally from her relationship with Angel.
