When do buffy and spike start dating?

Buffy and Spike’s first kiss was in issue Buffy 10 #11: Love Dares You, part one, and they’ve been in a solid relationship since then.

Aluwyn’s a trickster. It’s the essence of her being. That’s why I chose her as my mentor. She made me question the rules, break out of my usual ways of thinking. Work to find the truth… And understand it from all angles. She was just what I needed. But I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to really trust her. And the person I have to be to feel safe around her… Always on guard, always questioning everyone’s motives, including mine… It just feels wrong.

I don't know if Julie looked really JEALOUS about Clive appraising Andrew. She WAS trying set them up in the first place. I think she was unamused by Andrew's "perfect self" as she thought the potion was about accepting yourself, not making a persona

She could be jealous not of the potential attraction, but looking at Clive as the leader of her coven, and everybody there were also appraising Andrew. But it could be any negative feeling, since I still don't know who she is and what her motives are.

But I see, she would be worried about Andrew, suspicious about the situation and its consequences, thinking that it could mean something bad for a friend... Oh, this is good, I prefer like this :)

The problem (at least for me) with having a guest artist is that everything sounds as provisional as the "strange" art. I don't know if I'm letting myself take this storyline seriously as much a new reader that isn't used to comics, so everything seems wrong and a reason to complain. I have a half of a review written for the last issue that I’ll end up never publishing, I feel I'm still too grumpy with this arc, even though I have consistent reasons I have my guilty.

But I liked the drawing of Andrew jumping into the window, it had its fun, I’m just not sure if it’s an specific reference or simply superhero comics in general; he's already a clear reference to Hulk... But his superpowers thing is too random that also this feels too provisional, so I expect (and hope) the metaphor of being your true self ends with the metaphor of accepting yourself (and stop being so muscular).

Also, I don't even know Clive and already think he isn't good enough for Andrew. He doesn't have a lot of personality, and could be a little cuter. He is still a version of Robin Wood without the attitude, moves and backstory: still too blank and formal. And I’m keeping an eye at this Julie since her envious/jealous face when Clive appraised Andrew. And it's disappointing seeing that the Sculptor still has nothing interesting, especially with all we were trying to guess.
