Plot twist: The next companion is a normal girl/boy who only dies once in their lifetime and has no remarkable back story but he thinks they’re wonderful because they are human and the Doctor needs reminding that you don’t need to be a mystery to be remarkable.

I’ve always wanted a relationship like James and Lily. Because even though Lily stubbornly rejected him, he still chased after her. I would imagine that if she was mad at him, James would still chase after her. Because he loved her. I finally found a boy that pushes my buttons, and will chase after me. And instead of “I do”, our vows will be Harry Potter quotes. “Always.” And “Until the very end.” Because I’ll still love him until the end of time, always.
This is really not healthy. Boys who ignore your repeated “no”s because they go against their own desires are not safe boys to be around. They are not boys who love you. Boys who love you respect you. [And girls who love you respect you. And people who are third-gendered or gender-queer or agender respect you if they love you.] People who love you respect you. People who respect you listen to you the very first time you tell them no.
You called it “stubborn” for Lily to reject James when they were fifteen. Why did you do that? Isn’t it possible that she genuinely didn’t like him back then? If you liked a boy, you wouldn’t make him chase you, would you? You’d say yes the first time he asked. I hope you would, anyway, because it’s also extremely unhealthy to set up a relationship dynamic where one party is constantly being forced to prove themself to the other party and put up with bullshit mind games purely so that the other party can feel special.
I don’t like how most of the fandom entertains the idea that he asked her out every Hogsmeade weekend, month, week, day, hour, minute. I’ve said it before and i’ll say it again: there is no evidence that he asked her out before the lake incident, no evidence that he asked her more than twice (at the lake and in seventh year when she presumably said yes) and absolutely no evidence that he stalked her, or even followed her around. No evidence of ridiculous nicknames on his part, no evidence that she felt anything but mild scorn and disappointment toward him in the first years of their relationship. Absolutely nothing.
I highly doubt James had to be told ‘no’ repeatedly, he was no fool, though maybe a little too loyal and trusting in his friends innate character. He would have known from her reaction that she wanted nothing to do with him right then, and after he cooled down he probably realized that if he really wanted to be with her he’d have to grow up, that he’d have to grow up anyways because the war in the outside world was showing no signs of going away.
I always thought that he spent much of sixth year trying to resist his childish impulses and urges to hex Snape and his merry band of bigotted fools, that Lily and Dumbledore both saw this and that it was why they both began to consider him, Dumbledore for head boy and Lily as a friend, and later as a boyfriend and husband. They saw that he was trying to mature of his own volition, regardless of reasons, and admired him for this. There aren’t many humans willing to actually address their ugliest flaws, much less correct them.
That all being said, Lily did not get together with him because of his determination/stubbornness/pig-headed foolishness, she got together with him because he grew past the nastier parts of his spoilt-child personality and let the bigger part of him that was good, funny and compassionate shine through.
It’s all well and good if you use ‘always’ and ‘until the end’ as your wedding vows, the sentiment is wonderful, but do so for the right reasons.
I agree. OP seems to have a fanon-influenced view of Jily rather than a canon-influenced one. Is it really so hard to believe that the girl he liked telling him a long list of reasons why he made her sick and why he was no better than Snape (someone he desperately despised who had just used a word so offensive James couldn’t even bring himself to repeat it) might have made James pull his socks up of his own accord? The comment by never-was-and-never-will-be is appropriate for the sort of relationship that OP described, but there’s no reason to think it describes canon Jily.](http://24.media.tumblr.com/a28e7c4da5a59bb6fdc487a26f07c5e2/tumblr_mmceb0bq111r19909o1_500.jpg)
