Why you should not date him: His favorite food is broccoli in a sandwich. He had no fangs. He often went out in the daytime. I think he was lying about being a vampire. Also, he is a duck.
Why You Should Not Date Him: Mullet. Less party in the back, more like sad dead rodent tail in the back. Sure he'd be all badass and it would cool, and then you'd be like "why do you not have enough control to not get a decent haircut? Is it ironic? Are you a hipster vampire?" I just feel like he's not keeping up with the times.
Why you should not date him: I'm not denying that Armand is attractive. But you know it would be, it would start out all hot, and then his theatrics would get out of control, and then he'd make you kill everyone you loved. That Armand. Such a drama king.
Why you should not date him: Oh, love is hard? Being a vampire is hard? Things are hard all over, kid. Undeath is suffering. Sorry, would you like a little cheese to go with that whine? Oh, you can't have any because you're a vampire!

Why you should not date him: Remember when Angel drove Drusilla completely insane by killing her entire family? Wait, what about that time he tried to destroy the world? Or, you know, when he tried to kill Buffy's mom? Yeah, Angel was a fun dude.

Yeah, it was Angelus that did all the bad stuff. But there is still the curse issue even nowdays. Although Wes said in one ep that perfect happiness is a really rare thing…
Except that perfect happiness was going to happen every time they had sex. Which A) seemed sort of unrealistic given that it was Buffy’s first time, which is generally more “a little awkward”, less “perfect happiness” and 2) seems like another downer to that whole relationship.
The fangirls will tell you Angelus did all the bad, nasty stuff, and Angel’s almighty soul absolves him of guilt (not that tall dark and broody noticed; hobbies include feeling guilty . . . and Barry Manilow, which counts as self-punishment). They may have a point, but one fact legitimately keeps him from being datable: he is the Proto-Cullen, and wasn’t the original list all about being more datable than ol’ Eddie?
I don’t know anything about “Twilight” and couldn’t possibly care less about who is more “datable”. What I do know is that every single comment here completely ignores the fact that Angel had his own series and became far more than just “Buffy’s boyfriend”.
No more lurking in the shadows except to kill other vampires. No more ‘forbidden romance’ nonsense for girls to fawn over. The sex issue/perfect happiness was limited to Buffy and Buffy only…season 5 featured the werewolf Nina and proved that point.
Also, Angel never once tried to kill Buffy’s mother. It was an obvious setup by Darla….did any of you even watch these shows or go by internet chatter about them?
You all want to rag on Angel, fine. Just get the details a bit clearer before you do.
Angel? Meh. I always liked Spike more, even when Spike was just a whiny, weird villain. But I must admit David Boreanaz grew on me… when he became Seeley Booth. I think I prefer him human.
You’re right I like DB as Seeley Both better! Angel was so broody and boring for my taste… well, he’s much better than Edward Cullen ;)
But, Spike!!! OMG, I’m totally in love with him!!! I’m a fan huge fan of Joss Whedon because of Spike.
Too skinny, anyone??? Before he was a hottie, now he looks like he just escaped a WW2 prison camp…
Objection on Angel because that was Angelus :P
Reason should be: Because you can’t have sex with Angel or you bring home his nasty little friend :P
Syphilis?
What? Liam spent most of his days with tavern wenches. Probably caught something nasty along the way.
oooh, poor stefan! :X
I can’t stand Stefan! Damon is the best!
Love Angel. And this may be my inner crazy fangirl coming out to play, but Angel didn’t do those things, his psycho alter-ego did. Angel is just fine.
I couldn’t agree more…on all 5 counts!!
I couldn’t disagree more on Angel. Could care less about the rest.
