Stefan and Elena or Damon and Elena?(why)

Damon and Elena! ♥
I could write you a five page essay on all the reasons I think they belong together... but I'll just keep it brief.

They bring out the best in each other.
The moments they share are not only physical, unlike the extremely rushed relationship between Stefan and Elena. Damon and Elena's connection goes MUCH deeper. Their relationship has been slowly building throughout the series into the amazing emotional and physical relationship we see between them in SS. The slow build up is realistic and is what makes their relationship believable.

Stefan and Elena because I just love his character, despite everything his brother has done to him (killing his best friend “lexie”), he just can’t seem to stoop to his level by really hurting him (locking him up, he’d thought was for the best considering he kept killing but he had no intention of dusting him. Can’t blame him for that.), his a caring vamp-person with a really good heart and only wants the best for Elena. (Not innocent of course since she looks like Katherine but I don’t feel that’s the reason he loves her like he does. It was merely the starting point. It’s because of WHO she is that he adores her.) That’s why I love them…

Damon on the other hand I do feel can have the ability to care for another being (like he does his brother, despite his harassment) but feel his relationships or attempt at one with Elena is simply to spite his brother because of how much he’d actually loved Katherine. That obsession is still there and is reflected on Elena’s face – that’s why I feel he wants her. I could be wrong and do love his character because of his complexities but *shrug* Elena.. just ain't the one for him...

well its hard to decide actually..

between stefan and elena theres this love that had no boundaries. they love each other unconditionally and elena proves it. she still loves him after she finds out he is a vampire and everything. so they are the ideal couple for me.

between damon and elena exists a lustful r'ship partly from damon's side. their chemistry is just beautiful. she brings out his human nature and i just think that is so romantic.

when looking at it from the book point of view then i must say that its stefan and elena hands down.

well coz we have to choose in this then i would go with damon and elena for the obvious reasons.

elena iz beautiful lik her name c wud lok wit nice wit any1.

Stefan and Elena because Damon is evil where as stefan is the perfect guy for Elena.
Stefan's fit as well (on screen anyway)!

Stefan and Elena forever <3 Their love is perfect!

Stefan and Elena! I love that Stefan tries to be good to her. He is so sweet and tries to protect her against all. He accepts the fact that he is a vampire and tries to live a normal life.

Damon and Elena are cute except he is too tortured in a way. He doesnt seem to try to fit in, which is good since he doesnt pretend to be something he's not, but is bad since he NEEDS to settle down and get serious and make an effort to live inconspicuously.

I honestly know for certain that Damon and Elena as a couple have some flaws. It is not all flowers and unicorns when you get into a real relationship with somebody.( Believe me I wish it were) Being in a real relationship with somebody means you know the good... and bad sides to this person but you love them anyway because it is all 100% of what makes up them. I so wish I could reply with: Damon and Elena forever!( followed by a tacky smiley face) However, my mind and reasoning tells me that there is so much more to this subject than that phrase, and I'd rather reply with a logical and suitable answer for those actually listening to my opinion. (If you haven't stopped reading yet considering that I write like too long answers lol) If you haven't guessed yet I'm a Delena fan (never saw that coming ha) I am going to start off by naming a few flaws of both Elena and Damon. After that I will give my best reasons why I believe they perhaps better one another in their relationship. (This is what I will call the point where you either stop reading because once again I own up to the fact that I reply answers that are too long or you continue out of purely being curious)

Elena: at times stubborn, believes to be the cause of everything, highly illogical problem solver (meaning tries to solve a problem in a faulty way including a way that could kill or injure her or others around her)
Damon: ( Before I say this want to remind you that I absolutely love Damon as a character on tvd) untrustworthy, not able to trust others, responds aggressively, heartbroken, egotistical, aggressive in general, hides his guilt and emotions with humor and blood lust

What Elena does for Damon: She, believe it or not, makes him a better person. (As we can tell from his obvious transformation throughout the seasons) He may constantly struggle with his heartbreaks from the past, but Elena helps him get passed that part of his life. She helps him express his true thoughts and is a great confidant to rely on.

What Damon does for Elena: He is basically her 'knight in shining armor'. When the situation comes to it, he will do anything to protect her. He, like Rose said, is either the worst thing for her, or the best thing for her. He helps her realize that it is sometimes better to fight in a situation than flee.

That is my reasoning why I believe in Damon and Elena.

Although I can't say I'm a huge fan of either... Stefan and Elena, because I honestly believe they are better together. than they are apart. He brings out the best in her, he respects and values her opinions and wishes, and he knows/understands her better than anyone. She keeps him sane and makes him stronger. And even when the romantic/sexual aspect of their relationship was taken away, the spark was still there-- a deeper, solid connection remained, and that is such a rare quality to find between two people.

Whereas with Damon and Elena, even when they're in an actual relationship, it always seems to be all about the sex. While I do believe lust is a valid part of any healthy relationship, it should not be the foundation, and if it is, it should move past that to a deeper level of attraction and connection at some point if the relationship is to last. They have almost nothing in common, and while I do tend to be drawn to couples that are messy and flawed, Damon and Elena are just plain dysfunctional and toxic to a level that even I am not a fan of. Everyone always argues that Delena is a more realistic couple than Stelena, but I couldn't disagree more. A real relationship cannot be all sparks, all the time. With Stefan and Elena, there was definitely physical attraction, but there was also a sense of longevity, belonging, and security. (This is actually also why I ship Damon and Bonnie, but I digress.)

So, while I am not the biggest fan of Stelena myself, especially after the brother-swap, I do support them and I certainly prefer them to Delena. And honestly, if I had to pick a soulmate for Stefan (even though I do ship him more with Katherine and Caroline) it would be Elena.
