The course of love never ran smoothly. How could it if there was a few hurdles, cheerleaders and werewolves in the way? I've written down the reasons behind the destiny of the two soulmates and also why they shouldn't be with their current halves.
Ok, don�t get me wrong, I *love* Oz and Cordy. But they aren�t the perfect partners for Willow and Xander for several reasons.
Top Ten Reasons Why...
10) He can�t give her hickeys
9) Sure there�s cuteness in his talk, but nothing close to Xander�s quips.
8) Oz isn�t fun to be around with all month long.
7)There�s a lot of chemistry between the two best friends. Their conversations bounce off each other. Oz and Willow on the other hand have stilted conversations only to be described as �cute�.
6) Oz hasn�t been a member of the Slayerettes until recently and he�s definitely missing a lot in the history department.
5) He doesn't express worry for Willow. He's relatively blase about everything. Meanwhile, Xander gets majorly stressed out over his bestest bud.
4) Xander has a sense of humour and bitter wit. He gets all the best lines and always proves to amuse. Oz, on the other hand, doesn�t have much in the way of humour.
3) Oz can�t marry Willow: he hasn�t got a last name
2) Xander has an equal and respectful relationship with Willow, while Oz seems to follow her like around and submit like a puppy dog.
1) He�s not Willow�s first love. Xander will always be the one.
10) Cordelia doesn�t know if a tomato is a fruit or a vegetable
9) Cordelia snubbed and ridiculed Xander all through grade school and junior high, while Willow was his best friend and constant supporting friend, tutor and secret infatuatee. That is, Cordelia was terribly mean to him, Will and Jesse! < Lose points there! >
8) Cordelia couldn�t have cared too much about him if she dumped him the moment her friends made a snide comment. < From BBB >
7) The relationship between Xander and Cordelia is purely physical. Xander admitted to Buffy that he was bored out of his mind when they sat together. When he�s around Willow, they�re constantly chatting, laughing and having fun.
6) They don�t know much about each other. They�ve spent most of their lives apart, despising each other.
5) As a whole, they don�t compliment each other. It�s true that they have the funniest arguements and make out sessions, but that�s all they seem to do. And a good relationship can�t be based on fights and smoochies.
4 ) Opposites attract, but what good is it if they don�t have anything in common? They have nothing to talk about and no common interests aside from making out.
3) Xander couldn�t be in love with Cordelia if he thought only witch craft could save his relationship.
2) Cordelia was thoroughly embarrased to be associated with Xander when they were engaged in their secret closet rendevous. She doesn�t respect him or his feelings.
1) They never seem completely content with one another.
Top Ten Reasons Why Xander and Willow are Meant to Be
10) There�s a lot of chemistry between the two best friends. Their conversations bounce off each other energetically.
9) They�ve been best friends for at least a decade. They are bound from their childhood together, sharing holidays, sleepovers, and all their sorrows and joys.
8) Xander knows when Willow�s in trouble < for example, in �Innocence� when she was attacked by Angelus >, or in other words, he has a Willow-sense..
7) They know each other better than they know themselves.
6) They risk their lives for one another. Xander rescued Willow from Angelus� hold; again from the clutches of Ampata; and he has said he�d kill people if they hurt Willow, on several occasions.
5) They stick together. When they were younger and were constantly teased by Cordelia and her Cordettes, the two best friends and Jesse stuck together in their friendship.
4) Xander feels terrible whenever he hurts Willow. He�s sweeter to her that to any other slayerette.
3) Willow and Xander were bound as the original Slayerettes. They risked their lives to save Buffy at the beginning of �Innocence� because they knew how important friendship was. Even Buffy knows they belong together: she has a photo of the two in a tight embrace on her nightstand.
2) Willow only woke up during her coma when *Xander* told her he loved her!!
1) They have actually professed their love for each other!!!
