Topanga was kind of a sexless cold woman

Yeah, she was unfair to Cory.

I've been watching reruns recently and the episode where her and Angela were waitresses and would go out dancing with those two waiters after work is a perfect example. She kept telling him that those guys were just friends and he had nothing to be jealous about. She was one of the smartest students but was somehow to stupid to see or understand why he would have a problem with her dancing with other guys. For some reason she made it Cory's problem instead of working with him for them to both come to a solution.

And then the episode on the ski trip where he talks to that girl all night. And then the fall out from that and the next few episodes is another case of that. She told Cory to go out with that girl and then got mad at him for going out with her even though it helped clarify for Cory that Topanga was the only girl for him and he didn't want that other girl.

Topanga said that guys hit on her all the time and she never needed to test her feelings for Cory. That's fine if you're a pretty girl and get hit on a lot. I'm sure after awhile it just becomes background noise. But she needs to try to understand where Cory is coming from. If you're a guy and you're not hit on by girls all the time and you've never done that great with girls and you're not all that confident with the opposite sex, then it would be flattering and appealing to have a girl like the girl at the ski lodge who really likes you that much. It would be something that you hadn't really experienced before. Topganga needed to realize that something that was old hat for her was new and exciting to Cory because he had never experienced that before.

There's a difference too, between the girls that like Cory and the guys that like Topanga. The girl from the ski lodge, Harley's sister (and it seems like maybe there's one other girl I'm forgetting) all like Cory because he's nice to them and they can talk to him. They like his personality. However, when guys like 1/2
