Buffy and Xander would be a fantastic couple... the 'incest' angle is just something people attribute to it to avoid dealing with it. Inter-Scooby dating is the *rule* in the Buffyverse, but that would be the incest? I think the longest running triangle is... still the first one. Buffy-Xander-Angel. That one has been textual in the series since, oh, 1.05. And, since the writers have done so much to keep Buffy/Angel fans hoping and Buffy/Xander fans hoping, it is still implicitly a triangle. dang, BtVS is as bad as lost.lol.

Spike's living in a harem these days. Angel is an non-specified...non-vampire living in hell.
Neither of that would be to our girl's liking anyway.
She needs a man. A Xan-Man! LOL....
..or a sales man...

I think I could warm up to Xander/Buffy. Listening to some of you talk about how it could work is starting to convince me...

They are good as friends. I just really don't see them getting together. And to have their first time together in the comics....eh. I don't think a lot of people will be able to warm up to the idea. For me, the comics are not quite getting it right. I am not a big comic reader, so maybe I just need to get used to it. I think to try to put them together, in the comic, will not convince/suffice for many people. I dunno. Joss may get it to work, but I don't like it. They are too good of friends. Buffy needs a stable non-sexual man in her life. To put Xander as a love interest would just crush that.

^Really? There hasn't been an indications of her loving Buffy in a non-friendy way, has there? I thought Xander too, until there was the whole thing about the Cinnamon Lip Gloss.
As for whether I like the whole Bander thing or not, I don't think I'll ever be able to get over my incredibly obsessive focused love for Buffy and Spike, they had some pretty amazing chemistry, which I haven't really seen with Buffy and Xander. I also loved Xander and Anya, and don't want to let go of those two yet. I guess Xander and Buffy would be kinda cute, and I can sort of see it happening, but it don't really come across as one of those epic, dark but beautiful relationships that work so well on Buffy. But it might grow on me, I'll have to wait and see....

I'd like to see it. I think Buffy & Angel worked back in the day, but after all they've been through since 1999, I'm not sure they'd fit anymore. Maybe one day far in the future...
But yeah, I wanna see the X-Man rise to the occasion!

Id be very angry if Buffy and Xander got together, its like brother and sister together. I think it would ruin all those years of friendship, i like their relationship as it is, so why change it.
Buffy needs a superhuman/demon as a boyfriend, otherwise they will just die to easily, you just know buffy's bf is going to be targeted by enemies, maybe more so than Xander would be.
I think buffy will stay single till she dies, too busy for boyfriend, that or end up with Angel or Spike. Id love it if she ended up with Spike.
just my opinion

I recently watched Restless and I found it really touching when Buffy calls Xander her "big brother". Stuff like this makes me think of their relationship as a brother/sister only thing and I think it's beautiful this way.

See Issue 4 "cinnamon lip gloss" and issue 3 or 2 "Cinnamon buns!". Also, Joss told CowboyGuy at SDCC 07.

I think Xander is the best possible man for Buffy to ever be with.
Which is why it will never happen.

I used to be in the Buffy/Xander friends camp, but I moved.
I was surprised how ready I was for some Bander. It never really occurred to me since.. season 2. My favourite part of #1 is the scene between them, classic BtVS by Joss, and then Buffy's dream with the smoochies.. it was interesting, and cool. Then the scene in 6. Plus Buffy should be with a human who can make her happy in the long run... although I might be a little torn if Angel shows up human.

Buffy gets hit by bus and lives. I used to be in the Buffy/Xander friends camp, but I moved. I was surprised how ready I was for some Bander. It never really occurred to me since.. season 2. My favourite part of #1 is the scene between them, classic BtVS by Joss, and then Buffy's dream with the smoochies.. it was interesting, and cool. Then the scene in 6.

The above posts contradicts an earlier post I made. So apparently I have no idea when I got onto Bander.

Well, 1) That wasn't Buffy lol. And 2) that wasn't the end of Angel. It was just the end of the show. What I meant is that when the series actually DOES end, for real, I don't think it'll be a sour ending. Yeah, but it was really supposed to be the end. Joss has put emphasize on that quite a lot. I don't really consider NFW "sour". It was a great open-ended ending. It lets the viewer decide what happens next. Season 5 was rushed because Angel was cancelled, so they had to figure out a way to end it. Not much else would have made sense, IMO.

I can't imagine them getting together. If it happens, I'll be forced to deal with it. I keep trying to think of Buffy/Xander and I just cringe. Also, during the dream in The Long Way Home Pt. 2, I can't help but just feel weird. It just feels like I'm watching a brother and sister get together.
Who knows? If it happens, maybe it will be amazing if it's convincing, but for right now, it makes me want to vomit.
