When did Angel and Cordelia fall in love?

[jeanvic]

I know the C/A ship isn't the most popular of ships but I have always wondered when people believe Angel and Cordelia fell in love. It isn't specified but other characters have to reveal the feelings so obviously C and A confuse their feelings as platonic.

Now my personal opinion is that Angel fell in love with Cordelia possibly in Season 1 in To Shanshu in LA, possibly late Season 2, his happiness when she says she loves him apparent and if not them then it is definitely in early Season 3, around That Vision Thing.

Now Cordelia is less obvious but I also think she could be TSILA, early Season 2 as she takes the firing worse than anyone else, late Season 2 or That Vision Thing.

So what do all of you think?

You can love someone without falling in love with them. I think he fell in love with Cordy while they were being parents to baby Conner. Not sure about her though. Possibly at the same time.

It's a difficult one isn't it? Cordy seemed to see Angel as a eunuch type guy in Season 3 so he hardly seemed like a suitor but then she dresses her boyfriend up to look like him. I agree that most likely loved each other before they even knew it themselves.

[Beck]

They fell in love in season 3, but there were feelings there for a bit longer than that.

[Allan]

I agree with Beck's response. It grew throughout season two, before reaching love in the third.

[Lexie]

I agree. They definitly cared greatly for each other as friends for quite awhile, but I don't think he fell in love with her until Season 3. I think the two of them taking care of baby Connor cinched it, so to speak. She was playing the mother role and it was almost like a little family--it's understandable that his feelings for her would grow. I never knew about Cordelia, though.
