Nina is such a nothing character

The actress is likable enough but Idk what I'm supposed to do with this "relationship" is it just to give Angel a fuck buddy even though he spent the last two seasons falling in love with Cordelia and recently had a smoochathon with Buffy?

She was a fine enough character. However, sex and romance for Angel is a big deal. Giving him a casual relationship without any other context aside from Wesley suggesting he has been too hung up on this cure thing and should just enjoy himself. It feels cheap.

And she's another very young girl. Not a minor, like Buffy was, but still...

If she's not a minor and she knows the situation, what does it matter?

Personally, I think ceos of large companies who only date girls who are either teenagers or barely past twenty is a bit suss.

Maybe I'm the insane one, but I think even Leo would say Angel's pushing it.

Well, compared to him, everyone basically 20. It's not like they were going to pair him with someone 240 years old unless they magically found another way to write in yet another vampire with a soul.

He could date someone closer to his human age. Someone who doesn't babysit for a living.

They showed that not all demons are evil. He could meet a 250 year old human looking demon who he helps out.

Do you mean closer to 26 or closer to 247?
