Angel and Buffy didn't work well for me partially because Buffy was such a typical high-schooler in earlier seasons, despite being the Slayer, and Angel was beyond adult in age (beyond in age...SRSLY) and prior relationships. It would have bothered me had she hooked up with Spike then too. Or any other vastly more-experienced partner.

It just didn't feel likely or plausible to me.
