Everyone's summed up the wonderfulness of the C/A relationship so well that it's hard for me to add anything. But i'll try.
C/A appeals to me for several reasons:
1 - I can see them lasting. They fit so well that it's easy to see them as a married couple.
2 - Their relationship developed naturally. They progressed from friends to best friends and finally to being in love. Nothing was rushed or forced. It just happened and it was a pleasure to watch.
3 - They're real with each other. Cordelia is nothing if not honest with Angel. Only she can sense when something's not right with him and pick him up again. And in turn Angel is not afraid to show all of himself to her because he knows she accepts him fully.
4 - Nothing about their relationship is fantasised or fake. They have a mature and believeable love that is so easy to get on board with.
5 - They epitomise the qualities that i would personally seek in a relationship. Maturity, honesty and real deep feelings.
I could ramble on forever but i guess that about sums it up for me.
