And i agree with You, Xander would be the logical human choice.
BUT it would grate on me if done without an actual "Xander growth arc". Willow and Buffy go through all these painful growths through all the seasons and Xander - is just there (as of season 8)?! While i know that this is about the girls i still think it is somewhat, uhm, icky that the writer's stand in just transforms off screen from nerd boy to hero/love interest. If You get where i'm coming from. :)
