I never was able to look at the slash aspect of Buffy, either, and was also very put off by the fact that they were high school kids who were written to act and talk like high school kids...
I think all the young ones act younger than their age. (Compare, for example, with "Veronica Mars".) There's a style to the show... I still have trouble with the way the young females look and talk, even when I like them and like their dialogue. I deal with it by ignoring it so I try not to talk about it.
And I see no proto-slash Buffy/Willow implications.
The word 'subtext' didn't come from Xena fandom, though it got used a lot there.
