Rose: sorry, didn't mean to spoil you. Well, you know the extent of what I know about it. Supposedly, she will be a potential love interest for Damon. Don't know to what degree. But thinking about it after last week's episode and her 500yo self offering to help, now that she is on her own, I thought: well, that actually could be good for Damon.

I don't think he could ever love her the way he loves Elena (cuz that's an epic, once in an existence type of love). But she obviously has a lot of experience. She is loyal (that's what saved her), which is something Damon would value. She has to be clever and savvy, or she wouldn't still be alive. I found their first encounter very telling, not to mention quite sexy (when Damon has his hand over her mouth, a warning look and finger intimating her to be quiet, and her complying with it.)

If she is not some psycho person with a twisted mind, but a balanced person who can be selfless for the person she is invested in (that seemed to the case with the person she was with), this is could really bring some healing to Damon. I mean, at this point, it's clear we will not get Delena for a good while (probably no progress/benchmark crossed until toward the end of the season at least.) And Damon has a lot of healing to do. His entire existence has basically been a long series of rejections. It would be really nice to see someone who is older and can guide/accept him for who he is, taking the time to put him back together. Now, my guess is, she's going to get burned in the process if that's what happens. Because Damon loves Elena, and that's not going to change (at least, I don't think so.) But then, where would be the drama if everyone loved everyone... :-D

Awws, it's ok, I don't mind spoilers! XD
I guess that makes sense because Damon being the doormat for Elena isn't an option anymoire.
Like you said he's been burned before and that isn;t enough anymore.
He really deserves someone like Rose.

I think, like you said, that she is loyal and I adore that in a character, it makes her interesting and lovely to me, because I love characters like that and just the scene where she saw (obviously the love of her life, her partner) not just her friend, get decapitated like that must have been a heart-wrenching moment...
I could see a fiction in the works for her, if we see a little bit more of her, so that I can relate! lol

And you know what? i think she would be ideal for Damon - at least at this point- exactly for the reasons you mention...
She seems to be the kind of person who has a moral code and can dedicate and apply herself to one person if she cares!
And somehow i think she needs him as much as he needs her right now!! :)

Agreed on all counts! :-D Yes, I think they may be good for each other right now, but I can see one of them (her, most likely) getting more involved than the other and getting hurt when it doesn't work out. That could make her vengeful (more drama! LOL)... Anyway, time (and maybe some of tomorrow's episode) will tell... :-)

Oh, I like Rose very much, so the thought of her being hurt too and/or becoming a bitch after that is not very welcome! lol
But yeah more drama ftw I guess! *g*
Yep, I cannot wait! Lucky you, you get it tonight, I have to wait till tomorrow morning! :P
