I'm sure I've said variations on this before, but it is worth saying again: Something that Riley (and some fans) never, even realize is that in rebounding from Angel, Buffy is not just rebounding from a great love.

For her part, Buffy is so eager to see Riley as a guy who won't hurt her, that she misses the fact that he does have the capacity to cause her pain.
