I'm rewatching Fool for Love and it's particularly interesting that Cecily, later Halfrek, didn't know Spike was a vampire, which means he never targeted her. It's clear that Spike went after his peers who mocked and tormented him, and yet didn't go after Cecily even though she rejected him. Even then, when he was a new vampire, he still wouldn't go after a woman he'd once loved.

" What, no!"
But Cecily doesn't listen to you anymore, lost in her little world, she giggles like a little girl, wiggles and cackles. "Oh, oh your first crush, it's so cute!"
You almost want to cry, you're so embarrassed. "Please, Auntie, stop!"
She inhales sharply and seems to be holding her breath. "Yes, you're right. Sorry."
She's swaying now, back and forth, fighting a smile you know will split her lips. She opens her mouth and "Are you going to tell him?"

*Now you're truly horrified. "No! You're mad, why would I do that!"
*You sigh, the butterflies in your stomach freezing in ice. 'Why would I do that, there's no point. Nothing will come of it."
*You nearly choke on your own saliva. "No, I mean. Maybe I should? I don't know, should I?"
