Ok,I know that everybody(including myself) are dying for DE to finally get together...We get looks,almost kisses,tension,but we do not seem to go to the seterusnya level yet and we are wondering why not??But that can be good...

First of all,Elena had to be looking for Stefan all summer.He is her boyfriend,she knows she loves him and it would be illogical to just stop caring and looking for him...Then,when she found him and saw what he had done and who he had become,would we want for her to abandon him?No,because that would not be like her.She never gives up on the people she loves,she is faithfull.Isn't that one of the things we Cinta about her?What would it say for her character if she gave up on the guy she supposedly adores when he most needed her and went straight for his brother?So until now Elena is Berlakon like well,Elena,trying to save the guy she cares about(although it bores us to death)and nobody can accuse her in the future for not being there.
Let's alih on to Damon.Other ships are already hating him for numerous reasons(I do not agree with anyone of them,but they exist).What would be berkata if now that his brother,who went with Klaus to save him,and needs him very much, he just ignored him and went straight for his girlfriend?It would not be good...Everybody would say that he does not respect him,care for him,blah,blah,blah...We would not hear the end of it...

Also,if Elena went for Damon now,she would not have made a CHOICE.Damon would just be the seterusnya best thing,the Stefan rebound guy.Because she could not have him she "settled" for Damon and the minit Stefan came back to normal,she would start begging for forgiveness,leaving Damon heartbroken again,because for one lebih time his brother wins and he gets nothing in the end.

If they happened now it would not be fair to all the amazing build-up we are getting for two seasons.We have the best build-up in the whole series and I do not think that anybody can deny that!!They both have evolved throught each other,discovered things about themselves and now Elena is slowly starting to getting in the place where Damon has been for a long,long time and she is realising that she does not she him as a mere friend but he is much,much more(for me that is one of the reasons she wants Stefan so desperately back...She is afraid of her feelings and he is "safe",her shield.)

So,in order to make justice for Damon and Elena both we must want for Stefan to be his old,boring self again,before we have our DE.Then Elena will make a CHOICE unbiased and "ripper-free".Then she will choose Damon,not SETTLE for him.He will be her first choice,and it's about time he is somebody's first choice!!And Damon would not be accused of backstabbing his brother when he is the most vulnerable...It would be an equal and mutual choice and I don't think that anyone of us wants something less...
So DE fans,let's enjoy the wonderfull ride we are into a ride that nobody else in the tunjuk gets...
Sorry if it was a little long...:-)
