Never romantically ship a pairing on a Whedon series. Whedon is not a romance writer.
I know people who are still reading the comics and impatiently waiting for Buffy to say "I love you" to Spike, which - ain't gonna happen, kids, or at least not unironically. (And the more folks want it to happen the more I suspect it won't - I think Joss delights in "playing" his audience, hence the spacefrak. "look how silly your romantic notions are. Is this what you want?")
