Okay, I think we agree more than I thought we did.
I'm fine with Spike moving on romantically (well, not really, because I'm a shipper, but you know what I mean ;) ). But I can't believe he didn't think at least his friendship was profoundly important to her in S7. They were best friends. She was closer to him than anyone else. That is why I can't buy that he doesn't get in touch with her.
Honestly, I'd more readily believe that he moved on if he did call her up and say, "Hey, I'm alive; I know you don't want to be with me, but I also know our friendship is important, so I wanted you to know." To me, the fact that he doesn't get in touch with her--presumably out of some sort of low self-esteem that's all torn up that she doesn't love him--means that he really hasn't moved on. If he had, he'd have zero problem getting in touch with her.
