Once again, I have to give major credit to Xander. Yes, Angel cares about Buffy and doesn't want her to get hurt. Yes, Angel works with Giles to find a way around the prophecy. But who actually goes out to help Buffy? Xander. He even recruits Angel to come with him, which would imply that Angel was sitting on his hands about the whole thing. When they find Buffy, face down in a puddle of water, who is it that can actually save Buffy? Xander! So really, how helpful is Angel?
In real life, Buffy should choose Xander and they could have adorable babies together. But this is a television show, and a sci-fi one at that, so they are not meant to be. Their lives are not going to be normal, happy ones and this is why we tune in week after week. Though having the girl choose the bad boy over the obviously decent guy is pretty real to life. Plus, having a Buffy/Xander-ship would ruin the entire dynamic in the Scooby Gang and we would have an awesome character like Anya later on.
