From what I've seen, he always gets paired with Hinata, Sakura or Ino.
Thing is, I don't even like Sakura so I didn't think much about it until I ended up reading a friend's fanfic about them, but I don't see how they could even like each other - plus, some kinda ass-pull is needed to get a Konoha girl in Suna in the first place. Same problem with Hinata and Ino, with the added complication that neither of them even know Gaara, Hinata is still head over hills for Naruto (who ignored her confession, dammit) and Ino is a pretty minor character so I can't even imagine writing a love story about her without filling in a bunch of made up personality traits. Then there's Matsuri, but the option isn't even funny.
Personally, I like the idea of GaaraXOC, but I've only known two good, non sue-ish fics and can't really bring myself to write an OC myself. So I stick with GaaraXNaruto. -_-"
btw.: Gaara is married to his job. |
