Tara and "I Love You"

[tommo]

Glory, seems to me that you're saying Tara has a fear of the actual words, "I love you." That if she says them, then Willow will be somehow taken away from her.

What we're saying, however, is that Tara has probably already said this to Willow. Just because it's not been onscreen yet doesn't mean it hasn't happened. I mean, we're all pretty much sure that Willow and Tara have had sex, but again, just because we've never seen it doesn't mean they haven't.

It's an interesting point you raise about Tara, however, that she somehow has a fear of people she loves being taken away from her. In retrospect, I suppose that her shyness and reticence in her personal life might have indicated that.

But now, I'm sure that Tara knows Willow won't be going anywhere soon, not even back to Boystown, heh heh. And I get the feeling that after the events of Tough Love and The Gift, Tara pretty much knows that nothing can keep them apart.

Besides, in New Moon Rising, Willow chose Tara didn't she? Not Oz, not life without Tara, but Tara. And she keeps on choosing her, loving her, protecting her, fighting for her. That speaks volumes to me.

Ok, i was wondering, when do YOU think they :
a) first got together
b) kissed
c) slept together?

Personaly I feel they becaem an offiicial couple around Who Are You? but didn't tell anyone else. The Bronze trip kind of like a first date. From what Willow says to Buffy in NMR I get the impression they are dating. The end of NMR is when I feel they first sleep together but the kiss came sooner; probably around the Flaming o spell.

What do you think?

Ha, I should have stayed here;the oldest civilisation, decadent, degenerate and rotten to the core! Hah! Power mad conspirators, daleks, sontarans, Cybermen... They're still in the nursery compared to us. Ten million years of absolute power; that's what it takes to be really corrupt!"

tommo, i totally agree that if there ever was a problem, its gone now. i really don't see how tara could not believe in will's love for her now. so i suspect, and hope, that if the words havent already been spoken after all the insanity stuff that they will be. we still probably wouldnt get to see this sceen though, because joss said hes picking up next season a few months after the finales.

Ah, so perhaps all the black magic stuff will have been sorted out by then too? I'm not so sure I like that idea. I'm all for a teeny tiny bit of angst with lots of make up smoochies afterwards. Then we'll hear the 'I love you'.
