Buffy Excerpt.

Warning: may contain spoilers for those who haven't watched Buffy.

"See, what I think, you got burned with Angel, then Riley shows up.

...You shut down, Buffy. And you've been treating Riley like the rebound guy, when he's the one that comes along once in a lifetime. He's never held back with you. He's risked everything. And you're about to let him fly because you don't like ultimatums?

If he's not the guy, if what he needs from you just isn't there, let him go. Break his heart, and make it a clean break.

But if you really think you can love this guy ... I'm talking scary, messy, no-emotions-barred need ... if you're ready for that ... then think about what you're about to lose."

The lines that resonated with me are the ones I bolded.

You'd think a show entitled Buffy the Vampire Slayer can't do love, but it does it very very well. This show can make me tear like some of the episodes of Dawson's Creek did, not that I ever followed the show as religiously as I did this one.

Ok. I'm off to watch the next episode. I think I can sneak in one more before I get sleepy.
