Wow. Having this in my memories right now!! Wow. I never read an insightful Buffy/Riley essay before, nice way comparing it to Spuffy.
Riley is a nice guy. It’s his defining characteristic. He’s honest, straightforward, smart, good at what he does, honourable - a very old-fashioned kinda guy, really.
I think Riley is the kind of guy your family wants you to date. Quoting Xander: "When he's the one that comes along once in a lifetime."
He got all Buffy's family's approval: Dawn, Xander, Willow, Joyce, Giles... but sometimes what your family thinks it's best for you isn't really what is best for you. Even though I believe Riley had positives Angel and Spike didn't have.
