(I've read all your meta!!!) Goodness. *is very flattered*
The piece by The Royal Anna is great. Isn't it just? It manages to have its cake and eat it! :)
Aaaanyway - to me it's *obvious* that she loves him, which means that it should be obvious to him too, since he's been able to read Buffy's true feelings since day 1, pretty much. OTOH he has massive, massive issues re. Buffy, and so was probably hugely insecure.
Also, I think he believes Buffy deserves better.
So... dunno. It's impossible to come to a single 'truth' since the character is incredibly complex, and everyone sees him differently. :)
