Go ahead and laugh but I first heard the term on a Soap Opera forum, used to describe some of the women that were way too reliant on the men and allowed themselves to be walked all over. According to the Urban Dictionary, that's exactly what a doormat is, someone who allows themselves to be walked all over. I'm applying this term to Amy because despite the fact that Sonic always runs away from her, she's still chasing after him and letting him be the center of her world. Amy has a lot of good qualities, including the fact that she's a good fighter and sticks up for what she believes in, and for her only purpose to be Sonic's girlfriend greatly diminishes the potential for her character and overshadows her good qualities.
So anyway, I like Amy the character, but not Amy the Sonic chaser or SonAmy.
So I stand firm on the opinion that even if Sonic and Amy had a date, it was probably on Amy's terms and Sonic was probably just going along with it to get her to shut it. Either that, or Sonic just figures they're just going as friends.
I would really like to see more to her character besides just trying to trap Sonic into a relationship. Besides, what sort of role model is this to young girls who no doubt see it as ok to chase a guy no matter how uninterested he is in them?
So I don't like SonAmy, and though I'm not entirely unopposed to the idea, I just don't think their "relationship" would be a healthy one. It can't be a one way street and that's exactly how it is, and always has been with SonAmy.
