buffy's attraction to spike. what is it?

Well, I think from watching the early seasons. Buffy was beginning Trust Spike in Season 5 to protect Dawn. Then when Buffy discovers that Spike has fallen for her, she denys his pag-ibig and she wants have Spike with her to fight the forces of Darkness. So towards the end of Season 5 she made a deal with him to protect Dawn while she gone.

Season 6 when Buffy was rescurrected from dead sa pamamagitan ng her friends. She was feeling punished from being back on hell in Earth. Buffy was pulled out of heaven and pulled back to hell. While Buffy was back she felt she needs her emotions and feeling alive. She picked Spike because she used him as sex object to feel alive. After feeling disoriented from being back. Buffy and Spike both forgot their calling as a slayer and a vampire.

Season 7, Buffy was back as a slayer and friend. She was shocked that Spike back in Sunnydale with a soul. After moments being raped, Buffy and Spike were being seperated because of the past. However once things start be intense with Sunnydale on battle with "The First". She knew she needs Spike on her side. Both Buffy and Spike rely on each other, and Buffy would be help his wounds and she feels for him in a loving way.Thats the ending where she chose Spike over Angel to be her champion throught love.

I think Buffy is attracted to Spike because he her understands her.he gets that she is strong and is not insecure about it.with Spike she can be herself and that's something she has never had before

Buffy and Spike are complicated He loves she and She loves he but She don't want pag-ibig Spike is complicate

I feel that Buffy's attraction to Spike is a true deep feeling because if you would notice in Schoolhard, Buffy is truly dissappointed to find out that Spike is in fact a vampire.
Also, would Buffy have agreed to Spike's help to defeat Angelus if there wasn't some form of respect or trust between the pair. As for the whole Dru sitch in S2, Buffy made Spike agree to leave SunnyD and never return because he was wanting to save Dru, which displays Buffy's jealousy.
(I read too much into things.)

Buffy's only attraction to Spike is she has no feelings especially for him but she uses spike for a good time. She knows that Spike is evil and has that mystic strength and he can take it!!! She defiantly knows who she loves and it isn't Spike. Even at the end she can say it but she doesn't feel it!!!

i think there has been a connection between Buffy and spike ever since he helped her defeat Angelouse in segundo season but Buffy never really started trusting him until fifth season when he started helping her to protect Dawn then when she found out about his feelings for her she denied them but eventually in sixth season the passion grew madami intense starting with a halik in the musical episode and turning into reoccurring affairs which Buffy hides from her mga kaibigan and loved ones but Buffy still won't admit her feelings for him saying she was just using him until finally in seventh season she tells Angel that she loves Spike so i think that Buffy's feelings for Spike have always been strong whither good or bad and they are most definitely PASSION.
