I don't see Lydia and Stiles staying together for long. I think they would have broken up sometime during their freshman year in college. I think them being away at college (her at MIT and him at George Washington University) would have given them both a chance to experience new things and meet new people leading them to realize that their relationship was far from romantic. They were better off as friends which was the only chemistry I ever saw these two having. I really did love their friendship, I liked how they cared and looked out for each other and they worked so well together trying to figure out all the supernatural things that were happening in their small town. I liked how their friendship developed over the course of the series, she went from ignoring Stiles and being annoyed by his mere presence to seeing him as a trusted friend. While he had gotten over his obsessive crush on her and finally saw Lydia as a person and not someone to place on a pedestal to pine over.
I really wish the show had stuck with a platonic relationship between them because it really felt forced in the first half of the sixth (and final) season when all of a sudden these two fell in love. As I said before, Stiles had gotten over his crush on her while Lydia never really held those feelings for him. Their insta love seemed so out of character for them at that point in the series. And the funny thing is their "relationship" was barely a presence in the last half of the final season.
There was no alluding to them being in a relationship not even a long distance one with Stiles in Virginia for his internship at the FBI. I found it interesting that not one character mentioned that Stiles and Lydia were dating or in a relationship and there were no scenes of these two talking by phone or texting each other. There was absolutely no indication that they were together except for a blink and you miss it scene in the finale episode.
I think these two were already heading towards a break up, albeit an easy and uncomplicated one but still a break up nonetheless. Their relationship felt like an afterthought with neither seeming that concerned about the other. A break up would be inevitable for these two and afterwards, I see Lydia relishing the opportunity to date different guys at college and meeting someone who piqued her interest. But I like to think some time later (maybe after Lydia graduated from college) that her and Beacon Hills Deputy Jordan Parrish would get a chance at love. Those two had such amazing chemistry and it looked like the show was heading towards them dating but for some strange reason veered off to focus on Stiles and Lydia's insta love. It was so disappointing but I think Lydia and Jordan would somehow wind up together in the end.
As for Stiles, I think he would also enjoy dating in college but it would also give him a chance to explore his sexuality. He was already questioning it in high school, (it's been speculated by fans that he's bisexual) making it plausible that he would also date guys as well. I also think Stiles would end up with Derek Hale, I think there was something gradually building up between these two and not to mention they had good chemistry. I still can't get over Stiles imagining Derek as a damsel-in-distress in a story he told his friends when he was referring to how he "rescued" Derek from an FBI raid.
I wouldn't mind writing about the compatibility between Lydia and Jordan and Stiles and Derek and how they would have been great as couples but for now I will stick with the topic at hand. I really don't think Lydia and Stiles would have stayed together. They were better off as friends and their insta love was nothing short of lazy writing because there was no energy in their relationship. I see nothing between them that is long-lasting other than their wonderful friendship.
Alright Teen Wolf fans, would Lydia and Stiles still be together?
