For starters, she never said she loved Xander. It was a crush. Two completely different things. And, if you DO remember, that turned into something for Spike. Dawn had a huge crush on Spike and forgot about Xander. Why? Because she was growing up. She was young, and now she isn't so childish and whatnot. So no way in hell has she loved Xander from season 5 to this current season. So there are some factual arguments, lol. I still don't have a solid opinion of the two, but I'm swaying more to the side of "Why?"
But you do know its most likely not going to last, right? So all this argument on the two is a bit, useless. Or at least, that's what I think. Because I doubt Xander has just found the love of his life.

What is, for you the difference between love and a crush? More importantly, would a 14-years old girl really make the difference? Eck, some older people don't even make the difference. Ok, I give you she forgot Xander on occasion. She grew up, true. But I believe this crush never disappeared entirely, hiding in a part of her subconscious. Now, Dawn is just out a relationship that ended badly and she is in a tough situation (a war), so she probably decided to go with simpler feelings and give a try to her "first love" Also, this crush on Spike could signify that Dawn can easily become emotionally attached to a father figure. In Season 8, that figure is Xander. Just a crappy psychological theory I made up though (lol) Does all the Season 8 moments I quoted not enough for you to understand where this relationship is coming from? Than I doubt I can answer you question, as for me it's obvious and I don't have much other textual evidence to prove it. First, we are not arguing, more debating or talking about the subject. I don,t think it's useless. It got an entertainement purpose, at least. Oh, it's probably not going to last, I agree. At least, no in this form. I still wish Joss won,t you the "one half of the relationship dies" plot device, he used it a lot. In fact, he almost always use it. death is not the only way to cause pain. Also, I wouldn't be angry or surprised if Xander had serious doubt about what he is doing. I could see him ask himself question like: Does he really love her? Is he really ready to pursue this relationship despite Buffy probably negative reaction to it? Self-doubt is the theme of this season after all, for everyone. The way I see it, the Xander/Dawn relationship is similar to the Willow/Xander relationship in Season 3.

i voted "no... not really." i will agree that there relationship makes sense. he's known her for, what's seemed like years, and she did have her 1st crush on him. they are both normal people who do extraordinary things.
but for me, i want to see xander and buffy together in the end. i know we just passed that a few issues back, but i think there is more to come for these two regarding a relationship.
