The Vampire Diaries’ hottest dream couples

Unfortunately, there wasn’t a new episode this past week of The Vampire Diaries, but that means it’s the perfect time to reflect on the last two episodes. What has happened to all the couples in Mystic Falls? They have all broken up!

I’m not one to “ship” couples and instead tend to go with my favorite at the time. I was all about Tyler and Caroline, but now … Klaus and Caroline might be a more interesting relationship to give a whirl. And, Elena … I was all about Stefan, but he’s an ass now, so … Damon, maybe?

Here’s my breakdown of the current potential should-be couples. Vote for your favorites and share why in the comments!

Elena – Damon

Elena was destined to be with Stefan. Unfortunately, Stefan has done everything he can to push her away. I was on Stefan’s side until just recently. In fact, I never ever thought I would say it was okay for Elena to be with Damon. But … Damon is there for her unlike his brother. He has tempered his bad behavior in a large part for her. Damon has always been dedicated to protecting and loving Elena. Her feelings for Stefan seem to be disappating, though she still holds on to the idea of their dream life together. She needs to let that go and give Damon a chance. Are more kisses in their future?

Elena – Stefan

When we were introduced to Mystic Falls, romance was brewing for Elena and Stefan. They met, feel in love, and would do anything for each other. Their dedication was heartening to watch grow … until they were pulled apart. Since they broke up Stefan is no longer the Stefan we knew and loved, nor is he the Stefan that Elena continues to love. Unfortunately, Elena continues to have loyalty to Stefan, even though he left her a long time ago. I loved them together and never thought I would say this, but it is time for Elena to move on. Stefan initially left her in order to protect her, but the situation’s changed and he is still pushing her away. Stefan finally went too far when he took her on that dangerous car ride and to of all places the bridge where her parents died. That location was the beginning and the end of their relationship. Move on, Elena!

Caroline – Tyler

When Caroline stayed with Tyler as he was first turning, I adored this couple. The idea of a vampire and a werewolf dating was unthinkable until they got together. They had each other’s backs in a way that was unique and endearing. They brought out the best in each other … until Tyler became a hybrid. All the character improvements that he made through his relationship with her disappeared. He was again unlikable. He bit her! You don’t try to kill someone you love even if you are sired. I’m up in the air on this relationship right now. I have to give Tyler credit for trying to break his bond with Klaus for Caroline. That is a huge deal! I have hope they will reunite and be better than ever.

Caroline – Klaus

This potential relationship came out of nowhere, but is … hot! Klaus forced Tyler to bite her and then comes in to save her. Klaus is a complicated character. He is evil, but yet he is very charismatic and that makes him difficult to hate. Could Sweet Caroline be his savior as Elena is Damon’s? They definitely look good together and have chemistry. I’m torn about this. I love Caroline and Tyler together, but Caroline and Klaus … are so very tempting!

Alaric – Meredith

Is it possible that Alaric will find love after Jenna? Meredith is full of mystery, but Alaric is up for that. He is no stranger to mixed loyalties and the supernatural beings of Mystic Falls. This is a couple that I’d love to see get together, because there is so much possiblity here.

Jeremy – Bonnie

Jeremy has left town, but for how long? I’m guessing he will be back. I was a fan of this couple at first, but then they got boring. Bonnie never should have broken up with him over his ghost issues, but that’s done. I like them together, but there’s probably a better match for both of them.

Matt?

Poor Matt! He lost Elena when Stefan showed up. Then he lost Caroline when she was turned into a vampire and hooked up with Tyler. Matt needs some loving! For a brief moment, I thought that Matt and Elena should give it another try. They were perfect together during their last heart-to-heart. But, then I was reminded by Deb that Elena would just end up breaking his heart again because she belongs with one of the Salvatore brothers. True. So, back to poor Matt! Maybe Matt and Bonnie should give it a try.

The polls will close on Sunday, February 5th at Midnight ET.
