Nah...

Friendship maybe, but triangles nah..... That would be out of place for Matt to suddenly fall out of love (already happened on TVD couple times)with Caroline and take a romantic interest on Bonnie. Repetitive much? lol

I would hope not but give the all go sign on their friendship. If they hadn't touched on the deep love thing between Caroline and Matt. I might have been open to it but I would rather the writers keep Bonnie from the triangle thing. She's loyal and can't see him just forgetting about Caroline or her for that matter, especially when they have such deep rooted issues to deal with right now. There is more Catt to come!

I hope not, this show doesn't need any more love triangles.

I'd like to see in the show the same atmosphere of the book between Damon, Bonnie and Matt

well would be super interesting if matt
was like book matt

I hoe to GOD it happens!

In case you Bamonators missed it, Zach Roerig is FIT. The man is sexy as all out. Just check out that bod. Yum-yum-yummy!

And you guys want to stick Bonnie in a corner, where she and Matt can never get alone time? No! I won't have it. I want some cool and sexy Matt and Bonnie moments and that's that.

I'm getting extremely tired of these stupid love triangles that everybody seems to think is so great. It's the exact reason why I dislike twilight. I mean what's the point of them? Their unnecassry and pointless and not to mention their making the person who is in love with the other two lovers seem like a mindless slut. I'm sorry but it's the truth.

Oh sure they could turn this show into a HBO style series or Red Shoes Diaries you know by having female character sleeping with two people who share friendship or two female friends share one man. By the way, I heard (from KW sometimes before) that Meredith would come to Mystic Falls in future. The writers could set up a threesome flings between her and Damon and Alaric.... That would be amazing, don't you think?

It might be either terrible or fantastic, depending on the writing.

While i would not choose Matt for Bonnie as a first choice, since im TIRED of Bonnie's life revolving around Elena, i would accept near anything for good bonnie screentime.

Bonnie/Matt friendship scenes were nice in S1, showed he respected her well enough.

This triangle would make sense if it was played as Bonnie deciding between two very different futures - the normal life she wanted before the Klaus ordeal and the kind of life that would come with choosing someone like Damon.

Mind you- if it was about me, triangles would be banished forever in any form or measure but...it's vampire diaries, whose second name is apparently Vanmpire Triangles, so ...i believe there's a strong likeliness of seeing this SL playing in future.

Hi,

What love triangle do you gentle-lads speak of? Matt/Caroline/Bonnie?

Correct if I'm mistaken but Mr. Donovan turned his "cherished gold" into sorrow. He broke up with his fair maiden and chose the path less traveled. He's free and clear, ladies, without the hint of wedding band 'round his finger. If this lonely football star begins to take a "friendly" interest in his ex-girlfriend's cheerleader, who's to say it wouldn't turn out spectacularly well.

Look, my dears, my mind is open to anything and anyone. I will crackship this noble woman (Bonnie) until she finds the other half of her soul and until then, every man who comes her way is her potential soul mate.

I think I would say the same about Damon, the bad boy will have to pair with any women until he finds the other half of his soul. The guy is not exactly like the obsessive type of person when he's not around Elena. He's in his free spirit, who is capable of showing gentleness, softness and emotions for someone he care and yet without his bad boy image. She was killed off so that he can experience the journey of searching for love. Yeah so why not bring another female character for Damon. Because Damon seems work well with powerful tough women with edge. It is not like he and Bonnie will get toghether anytime soon, so why keep him under Elena's wing.

I would be totally in favor if they pair Meredith with Damon when she come to Mystic Falls. He is like a wildlife plants that shouldn't be tied to one woman or Bonnie so early. Every woman come to his life can be his potential mate. Because the guy is a bad-boy that woman loves, and also someone who can be as sweet and gentle with someone he really cares about. Yeah so why not.

@Aceg:

After the Season 2, Damon's "women" start to all look the same. It's like watching a fisherman trade in a bass for a cat-fish. But Bon-Bon is fresh meat. That girl has yet to sow her oats and once she does, with a willing and equally sexy partner, then I'm game.

By the way, after I read your answer, I suddenly didn't want her with anyone but Damon....I just don't want to share Damon with anyone else until Bonnie gets some Damon-alone time. It's only fair!

@ ducky8abug :

'After the Season 2, Damon's "women" start to all look the same. It's like watching a fisherman trade in a bass for a cat-fish. '

LMAO - I'LL BE QUOTING YPOU TO OTHER BAMONATORS. This one was terribly funny... and true. In fact, it was so funny because it was completely true.

@ducky8abug: There is difference between sleeping with or developing an actual relationship where we can see character growth and development and a well-written storyline instead of a cheap flings. The problems with Damon is that when there isn't a actual relationship for him since Rose, except for cheap flings with Andie (I think this is the only woman he had been with since Rose) and Elena obsession disorder. It is writers fault that they didn't even have the decency to write a beautiful love story for Damon.(the same could go with Bonnie).

@Aceg:

the pint is, with Damon, that he has no true concept of what love truly is or feels like. He exchanged an obsessive disorder Katherine-related, for one Elena-related.

His intentions can be good, but until he doesn't learn the difference between obsession, want and love he will keep making the same mistakes all over again.

think his driving 'challenge' is learning to move past obsession to learn building real and healthy relationships... not only in the romance department.

@skysamuelle, @ducky8abug: But here is Rose, who clearly had bring a new light in him, which was rarely seen before. This side is not about obsession or manipulation but it is something differs from his unhealthy obsession, has that relationship continued sometimes until now, it is very possible we could see a different side of Damon with real progression. Of course it would be naive to assume he will completely change to a perfect person, but it is very possible he who is being guided on his journey of enlightenment, would smooth away the negative side of himself like unhealthy obsession of Elena with Katherine, misunderstanding between obsession and love, has Rose been still alive. This would be hell alot of intriguing storyine than the soap-cliched storyline we got on TVD now. Sometimes I did consider scenario of Jules/Damon pairing, with dynamics differs from Rose/Damon and Damon/Bonnie. I think it would a very interesting pair, a millon times better than Her Royal Highness Princess E.

Btw, this is why I said above that Damon really works well with powerful and strong women (Not only Rose, Bonnie) who really challenge him, who doesn't take shit from him. But also bring out some good side within him. By the way, the "powerful and strong" is only generalizing term I used here, this is no mean to dismiss the individual characterstics. (e.g. Jules, Rose) When pairing those strong and powerful women with Damon would bring helluva different aspects.

"obsession, want and love he will keep making the same mistakes all over again." I still think this has more to do with writer's part than characters. KW once comment on the Rose's character serves as mirror in which reflect humanity in Damon and which he will grow. But the outcome is completely opposite of this. Instead of witness the "growth" that writers talk about, what we've seen onscreen in mid season 2 ? So clearly I think that the writer didn't leave Dose relationship in a good closure as if she died of nothing.

@Aceg:

I'd never underestimate the power of a well-written story.

Unfortunately, I do not categorize "The Vampire Diaries," as such. I happen to think its an overblown, badly scripted (and written) melodrama with bits of fun thrown in the mix. Mind you, my hopes for anything note-worthy has not entirely been squandered. I'm still here, standing firmly behind Bonnie and Damon, Matt, Tyler, Caroline and (please, dear goodness) Stefan, but I'm doing it with eyes wide open. With that said...

The development of social maturity (character development) has NADA to do with the number of people one sleeps with. I could be the world's wisest Buddha while displaying an active...er...appreciation for the opposite sex but I digress. I'll be upfront and admit that I'm curmudgeon when it comes to shipping Damon but ironically open-minded in Bonnie's case. I'm not able to sympathize with Damon without rolling my eyes whereas in Bonnie's case, I can envision a world behind Mystic Falls. You know? Which might be the reason why I'm so gung-ho for Bamon. He's palatable with Bonnie...somehow more tolerable with her then with anyone else, I guess...whereas Bonnie is a blank slate ready to be molded and casted in the image of every Goddess in existence.

@SkySamuelle:

Awe, thanks Antonella! Feel free to use that line whenever the mood strikes.

@ducky8abug: Please see my long-response above.

@ducky8abug: "He's palatable with Bonnie...somehow more tolerable with her then with anyone else".

Unfortunately, I don't see that way, even if I only ship Bamon as a couple (But I did consider many scenarios) From what I've seen Damon is competiable with Rose, but that doesn't discredit Bamon. Because when he's around Rose, I've seen similar side when he's around Bonnie. Also when he's tolerant with Jules or Isobel, they have great potential and share different vibes from his pairing with Bonnie and Rose, especially Jules. The actress and Ian share antagonizing/hostile dynamics(I think the word "dynamics" think it suit more than chemistry), both are sexy and stubborn supernatural beings. I think that if the writers explore more of their storyline, it would be interesting to see how it goes. As for Isobel, this is another different type of dynamics, it is neither antagonizing nor hostile but playful and tempting vibes somehow remind me a bit of the scene take place in Meredith's office where she unsuccessfully seduced Michael Douglas's character in Disclosure. But despite those, I do believe with many bamonators that Bamon/Ian/Kat does stand along on another dimension in terms of their dynamics and is one of kind on TVD. it is like riding a rollercoaster, you can feel the tingles and excitement and unexpected result anytime which only makes you longing for more Yet there is a feeling of naturality between them which is played in accordance with their characters. Best of all, they are slow burn as if taste a fine wine.

btw, The benevolent see benevolence and the wise see wisdom. I wasn't asking you to be sympathetic and I am not even talking about being symphathetic. I am only talking about Damon pairing scenario here, which you only perceive Bonnie as Damon's mate, but I do not see the way you do. So I am merely expressing my take in this. If I am talking about sympathy and morality with you, you wouldn't see me on this spot.

p.s. The unbias sympathy may not exist on this fanpop or this world, absolutely objective and fairness are the two qualities that seems only exist on some magnanimous intellects during WWII. They suffered horrible tragedy more than you, me and every else on this spot or fanpop ever does (I am not joking). But they still manage to be objective not bias (think about one famous Jewish writer who was tortured in Nazi conc camp, but still manage to write a Book on biography of Hitler without bias or bitterness or sterotype)

@Aceg:

Alright, I understand your POV and I agree. I would like to add something to that, if you don't mind.

I've also seen a similar side to Damon when he's around the ladies (Rose, Jules, Bonnie, etc) you've mentioned. To me, Damon is an overly accessible and overly exposed character. Such access and exposure makes it difficult for me to judge the character's development when he is, in fact, a fully fleshed out character. He's easy to analyze. He's an open book. He's shown remorse, regret, begrudging respect, infatuation, sorrow, anger, rage, vulnerability, and empathy during numerous occasions. So, in terms of character development, its slightly difficult to gauge where his development starts and where it ends. I mean, seriously, what else is there to learn from him, how much development does he need? What other things can we do with this character that we haven't seen already?

The only mystery that boggles the mind is his vow not to retaliate whenever Bonnie lashes out (at him). Does he think of her as a tool in the depths of his despair? Does he liken her to his prized partner? I'd love to know the answer. Now that's the kind of development I'm looking forward to.

Speaking of which, what's the story tattooed on Bonnie's forehead? Her insecurities with men intrigues. When Bonnie first met Damon, she was a shy kitten; unable to meet his eyes when introduced and couldn't stop fidgeting if her life depended upon it. She has that same reaction with all things concerning the opposite sex...speaking of which, I don't even think she realizes her instant reaction (attraction) to Damon when they first met. Speaking of her reaction, I want to know what's she's struggling with when Damon's nearby. Aside from fear, what else is she feeling. Competitiveness, a need to fight back, fear of showing weakness, attraction (which she'd no doubt deny until the grave)...what story (in terms of Damon) is scarred on her body (and no, I'm not talking about Damon's "silver" kiss). What story is she holding back and waiting to be told?

An inquiring Bamon mind desperately needs to know.

let me borrow one of Bonnie's quote on description of Damon from fanfic What lies Beneath: "sometimes I feel like I understand you like an open book, but sometimes I feel like I don't understand you at all." This is the same problem I (I think many bamonator does) have with Damon onscreen, sometimes I feel like I understand Damon better, but next moment I feel like this guy is a stranger to me. I don't think even Ian could really give a clear discription of Damon. Yes he's known for unexpected sincerity (appreciate Bonnie for saving him, Defend Caroline in front of Liz, save Caroline etc)Yes those "acts" might seems to be exposed, but writers never really gives a clear sense of meanings or intentions behind this act. I believe this is where make it very confusing. Just feel like sometimes you know him, but sometimes you don't. But when he's around Elena, (oh boy I am really tired of lecturing something start with "E")he become this grosteque man almost unrecongizable even though they did share some nice scenes. You know I almost think Damon has a bi-polar personality or struggle with a inner demon hidden within himself, which contradicted his acts. You know the writers sees never give a hint with regard to Damon's contradictory personalities. So I don't have a clear answer on that. Who knows, maybe writers focus much more on pleasing with DE fans rather than Damon's characterization. Unfortunately, what's done is done, you can't change about that. But there is a hope, I think the writer has hidden secret as to write Damon differently around Elena than other characters (Bonnie, Rose, or even Caroline). I think this is a good sign to us...Maybe writers are fixing things now. Anyway, as long as writer give us "badass with good heart lies beneath" Damon in contrast to the "whiny and sappy lap dog" Damon, then I am happy...

p.s. Sorry, I have to delay my long response in mini-essay format to your Bonnie questions until tomorrow. It already past 10 in my time zone, got to sleep. Wish you some sweet Bamon dream :)

@Aceg:

Your observations about Damon are astute (as is everyone elses).

I would like to point out that Damon's defense of Carline was unnecessary and in light of what occurred, inappropriate. Mrs. Forbes anxieties were well deserved and as an officer of law and single-parent, she was absolutely right to express her concerns. Any adult or parent would have done the same. When you have a child that has the potential to harm others or herself (or God-forbid the parent), expressing concerns about safety issues (and although her comment about her daughter not being who she is was hurtful, it nonetheless expressed her concerns about safety issues) is a must. With that said, I do agree with everything else.

You did mention, at one point or another (I think it was in another thread) that you were, by far, a Damon fan. As a Damon fan, are you able to gauge Bonnie's interactions with Damon, as well as with other men? How have you analyzed her and what has she revealed that is similar or dissimilar to Damon or Jeremy or any other male she's encountered?

Alright, just spotted that edition. I'll wait until tomorrow or if you'd like, the discussion can be continued in another thread or forum. It's up to you.

Anyway, g'night. Thank you for responding.

@ducky8abug: I've never declared or even considered myself as a Damon fan. I am a Bamon fan. I think I've only admit myself as an ex-DE fan

Oh, I know you're a Bamon fan. Sorry if I made it seem as if you were other than what you proclaimed yourself to be. I think your analysis of Damon is more clearly defined than my own.

Anyway, g'night!

Didn't read ALL of the comments, they were starting to get lengthy! Lol. But I don't see a Damon/Bonnie/Matt triangle happening ANY TIME soon on the show! BAMON will happen first, and personally that's what I want! Don't really want Bonnie with Matt. :( Yes Zach Roerig is HOT, in fact, at the beginning of the show, he was the guy I thought HOTTEST!! BUT I like him with CAROLINE, and even if Forwood comes to the forefront, Matt and Bonnie would be WEIRD! Yes they have chemistry in the books, as well as on-screen when they did the carwash together in season 1 and stuff! But Caroline was already Matt's surprise love interest! If they surprised with chemistry between him and Bonnie as well, it would truly be TOO much for me! Unbelievable and not cute in the slightest! Gonna have to bring in another guy, or have an ORIGINAL brother, for me to jump on the idea of a triangle with Ms. Bennett! ;) ...HATE the idea of Meredith with Damon! We've already gotta share Bamon with Delena, don't want any more confusion or love interests! Keep them random like Andie! Just random, non-main character girls! Don't even want there to be a SLIVER of attraction between Meredith and Damon! That's just me! Bamon is ALREADY too complicated without the inclusion of another main character woman! Bamon ftw! Possible Klaus/Bonnie/Damon or something! But NO Matt/Bonnie, and NO Meredith/Damon! She's for Alaric! ;)

@BB8Fan:

I agree. No Meredith and Damon. I'm not feeling that at all. Nada, Aceg. Like no way, Josie!

Yeah and maybe it's too late for Bonnie and Matt, too. *Sniff* Why does Caroline have to get all the hot guys? Some blonds have it all!

@BB8Fan: I hope they don't. It is likely writers will stir some trouble for Bamon. What if Damon/Meredith/the actress and Ian share dynamics (the guy could share dynamics with a tree) and writers will make it a friend with benefits kind of thing, which could lead to laying the groundwork for Bamon... You never know.

I wouldn't say it would be exactly like in the books. Maybe a bit like Matt developing a friendship with Bonnie, and simple doesn't like her working with Damon. You know him playing the big brother ore something. Maybe something like this could happen, but a real love triangle nope.

Isn't Matt in a 'love triangle' himself? So no i'll pass on that one. If there were ever to be a love traingle involving bonnie it should be with damon & tyler it just makes better sense.
