Rebekah & Matt

I don't know why Rebekah would even still be interested in Matt when he was the one who staked her brother. She was the only person in her family who was upset about Finn's death.

If Rebekah doesn't know Matt staked Finn then I hope she finds out soon. It's really getting on my nerves how the main characters keep being portrayed as "heroes" for making people who have done nothing to them "collateral damage" while the Originals are "wrong" for doing the same.

This makes me wish there wasn't a rift between Klaus and Rebekah right now. Someone needs to remind Matt that Rebekah only tried to kill him whereas he actually succeeded in killing her older brother. Rebekah has more reason to be angry at Matt than he does at her.

Sorry for rambling. I'm very strongly against "Mabekah". [r:Moved posts to start thread]

I'm not really a Damon/Rebekah shipper (I don't think they have much chemistry) but I'd take them over Matt/Rebekah. At least Damon and Rebekah are equally interesting enough that a relationship between them would be worth while to watch.

I can see M/R kissing before our beloved K/C too but I don't really mind.

I don't know if Matt is really the type of person who can move past what Rebekah did or what Rebekah is, which is a vampire. Even when it came to Caroline, he struggled with her insecurities and now her vampirism.

I really think that ultimately Matt wants the sweet, girl-next-door type. Someone who is normal and isn't complicated. Putting aside the fact that Rebekah is a vampire, she does have a ton of baggage so I think that is something Matt would have a hard time moving past. However, we have seen the MF members changing and growing up so maybe Matt can change and be more open-minded. Plus, at this time so many of his friends are vampires that perhaps his aversion to them will lessen in time.

I think that Rebekah finds Matt's wholesomeness endearing and I think she would really benefit from having someone like Matt in her life who is such a rock and stabilizing force.

I agree with Twilightdew. I don't think we have to worry about Matt and Rebekah getting a kiss scene first because their relationship probably won't even make it that far. He was never really interested in Rebekah in the first place so he has no reason to forgive her and attempt to pursue anything with Rebekah.

Rebekah needs to find herself a guy who is actually interested in her instead of wasting her time on guys who couldn't care less that she has a crush on them.

I think that if Matt could be more forgiving of her, he could help Rebekah. I don't know if she needs a lover right now but she does need a shoulder to lean on. And Matt is a good friend, I wish he was my friend although as boyfriend material, I'm not sure...

Given the fact that Rebekah has been on the run most of her vampire life with Klaus (or was staked) I don't think that Rebekah hasn't had many opportunities at peacefully coexisting with humans and developing real relationships with them. I think Matt represents the kind of guy that she would have liked as a human, and he brings out her humanity while being around vampires (especially Kol and Klaus!) brings out her vampire side.

I also think that is why Rebekah likes going to high school. She wants to catch up on the "human" things that she missed out on and I think that includes courting and basically having fun. Matt is a gentleman and I don't think that she is something she is used to being around.

The thing with Matt is, he also wants a "normal" human life but I don't see how, at least at this point, Matt would see courting a vampire as "normal" or ordinary, especially one that tried to kill him and actually killed Elena. So no, I don't see Matt and Rebekah kissing or dating any time soon. But then again, I suppose Matt could go through some major character changes and development and be okay with it down the line if the writers ever decide to pair them them together. After all, as Andi told Damon, "Love changes you."

Maybe Rebekah could find happiness with a human guy who likes her for who she is, perhaps one who would eventually be willing to be turned, just like Lexi's boyfriend was.

Elena comes with a ton of baggage too, though. At least, that's who she is now.

I think a big portion of Matt's loyalty to Elena (and whatever feelings he still has for her) stems from him still loving the Elena he knew while they were dating. He's in love with who Elena used to be before her parents died and she became attached to two vampires.

Unfortunately for Rebekah and Caroline, that gives them the garbagepy end of the deal. Both girls have had to deal Matt comparing them to the old Elena he loved and both of them lost that battle because Matt decided his ex-girlfriend was more important.

This is why I keep saying Matt she be with a human girl who is completely removed from all this supernatural mess. I think Matt will find that is the only way he can be truly happy with someone and finally close the door on his past with Elena.
