Stiles deserves someone better than that. He deserves someone that enjoys his company and one that  listens and pays attention to him more. Sure, he's been in love with Lydia for like ever, but not only are his feelings unreciprocated but Lydia treats Stiles like he is always getting on her nerves, like he's a pest that she can barely stand or tolerate. How people can possibly see that as good chemistry is sad. Cora seems like a better fit to some degree, at least she doesn't blow him off or treat him like garbage like Lydia always does. I personally am sick and tired of Lydia...I kind of hope her character dies. She is a total whorish bitch that deserves absolutely no sympathy from anyone. Just gut her already, please! Okay. But Cora is not better than Lydia. She's always acting like she knows a lot more than everybody, she's always stressed. Even when she found Derek she was in a bad mood, and I think she treats a lot of people like garbage. Stiles included. Cora does get on my nerves with her tendency to fight alphas (Ennis/Aiden) head-on without any strategy in mind, and her lectures about not taking action. She does seem angry and stand-offish, but maybe it's because of what she had gone through in the past 6 years? Life couldn't be easy as a 11 year old surviving without the support of their family. She could be a lot nastier, but her general anger/stress/frustrated behaviour seems to be because she seems to passionately care about what's been happening (alpha pack, boyd's death etc).

Lydia on the other hand, has mostly been a self-centred, stuck-up b**** from Season 1. I couldn't stand her until this season, when she pushed Scott and Stiles away from the puddle of gasoline in Motel California. She is selectively nice to people who she thinks are of the same social standing as herself, and is rude to anyone who isn't. She doesn't seem to want a serious relationship (making out with Scott when she was with Jackson, whatever fling she has with Aidan etc), so why would she suddenly want one with Stiles? I don't think Stiles would want some casual fling with a girl he claims to have had a crush on for a long time. Yes, she has a brilliant mind, but that doesn't make her an admirable character as a whole. Nothing annoys me more than people saying "Lydia is brilliant!". No, she isn't. Her mind is, but her character as a whole is no where near brilliant. She was absolutely horrible to Stiles until she needed his help in Season 2, and still treats him like an annoyance in Season 3. It has been nearly 3 seasons and she has shown not shown Stiles the respect he deserves.

In the few interactions between Stiles and Cora, you can see that Cora does have some sort of respect for him (more than she does for Scott anyway) and trusts him enough to patiently listen to his theory of Peter lying in Episode 8. He too respects her opinion (Currents), and seems to trust her and care about her enough to make sure she gets home alright (maybe that's just Stiles being Stiles, but aww!). Basically, they seem to be on the same level of mutual respect/trust etc. She is a lot less angry around him too.

Cora's character is yet to be developed. We don't know what her past was, we don't know if she will survive season 3A, we don't know is she is secretly evil. But out of Lydia and Cora (and their present attitude towards Stiles), Cora would be a much better for Stiles. I don't ship Sterek, so this isn't some "substitute one Hale with the other" thing. I just honestly think that there's potential for something great between Stiles and Cora.
