Dear Diary...
The Vampire Diaries has featured quite a few romances throughout its eight-year run on The CW, but some were way better than others.
Which were the BEST? The WORST? Check out our ranking below...
16.
Lily and Enzo
The show seriously jumped the shark with this couple. Like, what the hell? There was zero chemistry. It was a painful experience for both parties... and us viewers.
15.
Bonnie and Jeremy
Bonnie and Jeremy were a bizarre pairing. Kat Graham and Stephen R. McQueen had no chemistry whatsoever. Jeremy even resulted to cheating on Bonnie with the ghost of Anna. If they somehow wind back together in the finale, we'll know that the script sent out to the actors was replaced with some lame fan-fiction.
14.
Caroline and Alaric
Caroline and Alaric work best when they're working together to take down villains and co-parenting their kids. They tried the whole relationship thing and it combusted. Move on.
13.
Stefan and Elena
Back when the series kicked off, it was all about Stefan and Elena's romance. They were cute together, but all of their earlier scenes were made redundant by Elena's growing feelings for Stefan's brother, Damon.
12.
Mary Louise and Nora
Mary Louise and Nora were never very well developed characters, but it was clear the two of them loved each other for all of eternity. Their exit from the show was one of the most shocking as they decided to die together and destroy Rayna's Phoenix sword.
11.
Jeremy and Anna
Jeremy and Anna were one of the best relationships on the show. They were both struggling with a lot of different things and it was great how they managed to overcome them together. It's just a shame Anna had to die to quickly.
10.
Jo and Alaric
Alaric's good looks helped him wind up in several relationships throughout the show's run. Unfortunately, Kai brought this one to a grinding halt.
9.
Jenna and Alaric
Aunt Jenna was dating Alaric early in the show's run and they were great together. If there was no supernatural forces in Mystic Falls, they would probably still be a thing.
8.
Stefan and Valerie
Stefan has a knack for hiding past relationships from his lovers. His short-lived relationship with Valerie was full of tragedy, but you could tell there was something between them. That's probably why they made a go of things again all those years later.
7.
Stefan and Rebekah
Part of the reason Rebekah became such an intriguing character was that she shared a lot of history with Stefan, who was still pining after Elena. Watching the layers of their relationship unfold in flashbacks was great and the whole pairing pissed Elena off, so there's that.
6.
Stefan and Katherine
Stefan was really starting to feel something for Katherine back in Season 5. Heck, he even managed to stop her from throwing herself off the bell tower when she was human. They have a lot of history and a whole lot of chemistry.
5.
Bonnie and Enzo
Bonnie and Enzo were such a random pairing on The Vampire Diaries Season 7. It was clear they really loved each other, but it's just a shame Arkadius was around and Stefan opted to make Enzo part with his heart. Will they get a happy ending in the afterlife? Probably.
4.
Klaus and Caroline
Remember that time Klaus and Caroline got hot and heavy outside? Yes, we all do and for good reason: They are great together. Sure, their relationship is very, very underdeveloped, but I'm open to it being explored when Stefan dies. Stefan will not be Caroline's last love.
3.
Stefan and Caroline
At first, I was so against this pairing. I liked them as friends, but somewhere along the way, they grew on me. They are finally married, but something tells me their wedding might not last very long if Katherine has anything to do with it.
2.
Damon and Rose
These two were so damn cute together. If Rose was still around, I could have seen them becoming endgame if Elena was not up for getting with Damon. Rose's death was heartbreaking, but Damon gave her one last happy moment before she succumbed to the werewolf bite. Sob.
1.
Damon and Elena
Who would have thought back when the series premiered that Elena would wind up with Damon? The pilot definitely set it all up to be a Stefan and Elena endgame. It's crazy how things change. With Elena waking up in the series finale, we're sure these two will get their happy ending, but will Damon become a human?
