6. NO RESPECT FOR BOUNDARIES
Even though Damon met Elena first, but that doesn’t change the fact that it was Stefan who first started the romantic relationship with her. When Damon returned to Mystic Falls and surprised his brother, he was well aware that Stefan and Elena are dating. But he still chose not to respect their boundaries. At one occasion, he compelled Elena to kiss him, but thanks to vervain he couldn’t succeed. His advances were pretty evident. In the finale episode, he even kissed Elena (who we later learned is Katherine), but still it’s completely wrong on his part to kiss his brother’s girlfriend. And when Stefan offered himself to Klaus’ service in exchange for cure for Damon’s werewolf bite, Damon took the chance to grew closer with Elena while searching for Stefan.
