Well, I'll give you the short version. Because I have nothing better to do.
Seasons 1-3 were spent with her being in love with Angel, vampire (but one with a soul.) But they gave him his own spin-off show on the WB network, and besides that he was cursed so that if they ever made love he woud lose his soul turn evil again, so he left her to have a "normal relationship with some one else" for her own good. This made her bitter and unable to relate to men. She was 16-18 during that ship.
In the beginning of season 4 she was seduced and used by this guy she went to college with, who dumped her after he got sex. This did not make her feel better about guys.
From the rest of season 4 through most of season 5 she was with Riley, a class mate and an undercover secret military dude for the government. They were a happy but boring couple, and Riley was sort of her rebound guy after losign Angel. He eventually cheated on her because wasn't really opening herself up to him emotionally (hold-over from the Angel-angst), and they broke up.
The very end of season 5 through the beginning of season 7 she was off and on with Spike, soulless vampire. They had lots and LOTS of sex. He was in love with her from season 5 on (he deliberately got his human soul back in season 6 finale so she could love him), but she wasn't really in love with him until season 7, after which the show finally ended.
