I love those two. I think we get to see a different side of Stiles that we don't normally see seeing as how this is the first time a girl has reciprocated his feelings. I think shelley and dylan have some amazing chemistry and their interactions just seem so believable and genuine to me. Someone made a point on tumblr (can't remember who) that we've seen Stiles mature so much through his relationship with Malia, learning to be a lot more patient and understanding than we've seen him in the past and I agree.

As far as psychological issues I feel like there are none, because this is teen wolf, its a campy show about teenage werewolves, they don't really have the time or any reason to explore such complex things. This is the kind of thing for another show. and I'm ok with that. They can explore the emotional implications of the characters experiences (i.e Malia's guilt about her family or Stiles recalling the things he felt when he was the nogitsune). but they don't have the luxury of delving deep into psychological issues, because if that were the case after all the death and destruction these characters have witnessed, all of them would be way to traumatized to function on the level that they are. so there is a degree of suspending disbelief when it comes to these things.

They are interesting to think about though, but I don't think they really matter at all in the show's universe and I'm cool with that.
