I don't love Spike because I fantasize about dating Spike. I love Spike because I relate to and identify with Spike, because I know exactly how it feels to give all your heart and soul to someone and to be trampled on and used in return, and because I know exactly how it feels to be an outsider who doesn't fit in ANYWHERE and who gets mocked and mistreated for being such a freak.
I just really wish that the people writing Spike's story would show some understanding or recognition of this fact, instead of mindlessly lecturing us about who we should date.
