My favorite character in Pretty in Pink was Annie Potts. And I sort of assumed Ducky was gay, maybe even before I knew what gay was.
Illyria: Wesley's dead. I'm feeling grief for him. I can't seem to control it. I wish to do more violence. Spike: Well, wishes just happen to be horses today.

Buffy and Angel 1: BUFFYNANGLE4EVA!!!!!1!
Is it better the second time around? Or the third? Or tenth? This is the place to come when you have a burning desire to talk about an old episode that was just re-run.

Until she rejects her cool vintage style to be some Yuppie's girlfriend!

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.
I don't remember: did Xander keep his romantic intentions secret from Buffy? If he did disclose, are the romantic intentions in someone who is just friends still NiceGuy behavior?

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Isn't high school all about romantic intentions misplaced--college too for that matter? Or was that just my experience.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

He asked her out and got rejected in "Prophecy Girl."

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
I don't remember Xander being passive-aggressive w/r/t Buffy. Anya, later on, yes, but not Buffy (and I don't remember that he was with Cordelia either - that was more aggressive-aggressive on both sides).

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm totally not getting the Nice Guy support citations for Xander over most of his relationships. Sure, he failed to get the girl sometimes, and he fucked other shit up, but not like a Nice Guy.

I should clarify that I don't think passive-aggressive behavior necessarily equals Nice Guy behavior. It certainly can be, but I don't think it was in Xander's case.

Always Anti-fascist!
In my personal fanon of SKOW,Annie Potts' character tries out "normal" till she breaks up with that guy and goes Goth. But I can also imagine her being Ducky's Mrs. Robinson...is that gross?

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
I guess because I knew so many girls that were Xander in high School , that I really see it as more of a high school thing. And I sort of had it in college with one guy that I wanted and knew no way in hell would he want me.
But in today's news - I did not like Halloween as much as mark does on his first viewing( I love it now) There are so many shoes to drop
