Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Things you forgot happened in season 1 – POP TIMES UK

On more than one occasion, Xander has adopted the nice guy persona, where he thinks hes owed a relationship for not being like other guys. Buffy continually spurns his advances throughout the first season, but he finally gets the courage to ask her out in Prophecy Girl. Xander flips out when he forces Buffy to very delicately tell him that she doesnt feel the same way. When he rants about being spurned to Willow, he says manipulative things like, Shes still jonesing for Angel, could care less about me. Sorry, Xander, but heres a wild concept. Buffy can care about you as a friend without being in love with you.

To make matters worse, he knowingly uses Willows crush on him to his advantage. Whereas Buffy never intentionally gives Xander the wrong idea in season 1, he repeatedly toys with Willows emotions. Listen, Xander, you dont get to play the victim with Buffy while intentionally manipulating your best friend. Thats not a good look, dude.

Its easy to forget that Xander asked Buffy out when he continues to aggressively pine for her throughout the entire series. Between trying to sabotage Buffys relationships, getting aggressive with her boyfriends, and continuing to get jealous when she clearly told him no, Xander needs to chill. He never really gets called out on it, either, and he does it even when hes in relationships himself.
