You know what? Whedon has his flaws, but I like Buffy, and I liked her relationships.

She showed a perfectly normal teen interest in guys, but over time you could also see that the relationships she ended up in were not always good, because she was an inherently flawed human.

I thought her killing Angel despite him getting his soul back was a really powerful moment. I liked that with Riley, it showed that even with a human a relationship could be bad and based on lies. And I liked that with Spike it was basically two broken people seeking comfort with each other.

In short, I liked that it made her human. It wasn't over-romanticized like Twilight or whatever teen novel du jour. No, it was genuinely messy sometimes. She lost loved ones, and still stayed strong.

Just because you do not need a man doesn't mean you can't one one, doesn't mean you can't crave to be loved and to connect on that level with an other being. And I think Buffy did fairly well on that.

Yeah, this. And considering she had two full-time jobs (being a student and a slayer) outside of trying to have relationships under extraordinary and trying emotional circumstances, well, sheesh.

She was a complicated character and was going through a lot, and I liked that she wasn't closed off sexually, because that would have been wrong for a lot of reasons. She was already closed off emotionally for reasons that were explored in depth after Angel.
