1) Sakura never even gave a reason why she loved him
I don't think anyone disagrees with this. If you do, please show me when she ever gave a non-shallow reason for loving Sasuke. Hinata has a reason to love Naruto as well. Now, I understand that Karin's reason was kind of "written in" and presented as a memory. This means that Kishimoto could've just pulled a reason out of his butt and inserted it in the chapter where Karin was almost killed by Sasuke. But Kishimoto never even considered writing in a memory for Sakura to explain why she loved Sasuke. Never in 700 chapters, 15 years, and countless movies. (Can anyone tell me if it was in a filler, etc? I doubt it because I've seen 95% of anything produced for Naruto but it's possible). So can we assume that she doesn't have a reason? Maybe a reason will be written in another movie titled "The very last Naruto the movie, this time we mean it. We think."
2) Sakura Doesn't Understand Him
We see that Sakura doesn't understand Sasuke in at least 3 examples. I'll start with the most insane one in my opinion.
Number 1 was when Sasuke was leaving the village. She told him that she understood his loneliness. That even though she had friends and family, him leaving would make her feel as lonely as he felt having his whole family taken away from him. A guy who she spent a year getting to know, a few years obsessing about, and who never showed romantic feelings for her leaves and she compares that loneliness to Sasuke losing his whole clan, lets say about 1000 of his people? Sakura is delusional if she believes that. If Sasuke didn't think Naruto could understand him, how could Sakura possibly understand his loneliness?
Number 2 was in chapter 3 when she said that Naruto was lucky to not have parents and that the fact that he didn't have parents was why he was always causing problems. Sasuke promptly shut her up telling her that what Naruto felt was nothing like having a parent yell at you. Then he called her annoying. (How do people associate him calling her annoying as a romantic thing again? He obviously means it in the negative). We found out towards the end of the manga that Sasuke understood all along that Naruto acted like an idiot at a young age to get attention. He understood that Naruto was lonely and longed for attention, even if it was negative attention. He was the same as Naruto, being alone with no parents. By insulting Naruto, Sakura insulted Sasuke too. She obviously couldn't understand nor was sensitive to the tragedy of growing up orphaned. No big deal, she was just a kid and can be forgiven. But still, she did not understand Sasuke's pain. In Shippuden she didn't even know about Itachi's truth, the uchiha history, nothing. She barely knows Sasuke. And even when he tries to clue her in, she still can't seem to understand. This brings me to the third example.
Number 3, the curse mark issue. Sakura couldn't see Sasuke's POV and disrespected his wishes. She doesn't understand what is important to Sasuke or she ignores it for her own self interest (this highly feeds into my other point of her being selfish, point #5). Sakura knew about the curse mark and Sasuke asked her to not tell Naruto since he didn't want Naruto worrying. But she mentioned it in front of Naruto anyways. She also wanted him to quit the chunin exam despite him obviously wanting to continue. Then threatened him to expose his secret if he didn't follow her wishes. He told her over and over that his purpose in life was to kill a certain person. He told her that he wanted to continue the chunnin exams to test his skills.Testing his skills for him was worth possibly dying from the curse mark's effects. He explained this to her but her self interest of not wanting to see him suffer (while noble and good is still selfish) made her ignore his wishes. She brought it to another level by threatening him. Sasuke in his own right was being selfish and inconsiderate of her feelings, however it's his body, his life, technically he is considered an adult and she isn't in charge of his life in any way shape or form. The nerve of her to try to control him with threats like he's a child and she's his mother! That's not how relationships/marriages work where i'm from. (Threats is a theme in their "relationship" as Sakura also threatened him when he was leaving the village).
Another example for this is in the Road to Ninja Movie, Sakura complains about her parents and she says,
"If Sasuke were here he'll definitely understand how I feel"
Wait so lemme get this straight, Sakura thinks Sasuke, who's spent most of his lifetime trying to avenge his parents will understand her disdain for her own parents?
3) Sasuke Doesn't Understand Sakura
This one also supports Sakura not understanding Sasuke as well. In the Road to Ninja movie, which was Shippuden time, Sakura was having issues with her parents again. She sat on a swing complaining to Naruto about her parents to which Naruto replied that she was being too harsh. She then said that if Sasuke was there that he would understand her. Now refer back to chapter 3 of the manga and read my point #3. Would Sasuke really understand her and her complaints about her parents knowing that his whole clan is dead? The fact that Sakura thinks he would understand her and be on her side is simply hilarious. Honestly, Sasuke is able to logically understand where other people are coming from, including Sakura, but in the above case, he wouldn't respect her complaints. In a relationship, understanding and respecting each others pain/goals/dreams is something that is invaluable. They only person that understands Sasuke completely is Naruto while Sakura doesn't get him at all. It would've been acceptable if Sakura was able to at least make up for not understanding Sasuke by giving advice, listening, etc, and if Sasuke could respect her pov. But they can't. Their characters are too different when it comes to the important things. Point # 5 I'll talk about Naruto being their go between and Sakura not being a good support system for Sasuke (and no, her offering to go off with Sasue isn't support. It is her feeding her own self interest).
3) Sakura's Love Is Selfish
I am going to have to make comparisons here and it's not gonna be pretty. But Hinata put her life on the line to save Naruto's life during the Pein arc. She put her money where her mouth was. Even though she was useless in the situation she tried to save Naruto. People call it selfish on her part (because Naruto didn't want her there) and in a way it was selfish but I'm sorry, losing your life to save another's is completely a selfless act of love. When Sasuke was leaving, yes Sakura offered to go. But it was for her own SELF INTEREST, as it always is when it comes to Sakura.
Sakura wants him to quit the chunin exams because SHE doesn't want to see him suffer.
SHE can't live w/o Sasuke so she wants to go with him even though Sasuke didn't want her to go with him.
He goes to leave anyway and she threatens to scream so that he would get caught and stay with HER.
Unlike Naruto who would've died shouldering Sasuke's hatred, and Kakashi who had a valid reason to kill Sasuke (he was a menace to society which he (Kakashi) helped train), Sakura's reason for wanting to take Sasuke's life was so that SHE didn't have to see him plunge deeper into darkness.
She wanted him to not go if he even had an ounce of care left for HER. She loves him so much, please stay Sasuke, she wants to go back to how things were before you left to try and get closure! Who cares if you were mentally abused by your brother and need closure (even if that means killing Naruto), Sakura wants team 7 back together..so she could have another chance to ride you.
Please Sasuke let her go with you on your redemption tour because SHE can't stand not being without you. Yes, we know it has nothing to do with her, but who cares? Make her happy.
Geez Sakura, it isn't always about you. Yes you were trying to protect the guy, but majority Uchihas feel as if they can handle things themselves. In fact, it was never about you but you keep inserting yourself into Sasuke's life in ways that were either inappropriate of your position in his heart or in ways that were against his wishes. You'd think they were lover's/had a deep bond with the way she acted all 699 chapters. Is she important to him, yes. But obviously she crosses the line. When Sasuke was leaving the village pre - Shippuden, Sakura thought he despised her, yet she still felt like she had a position in his heart to force him to stay? Does that seem logical?
Naruto, Itachi, Kakashi = the only people who have any rights to even suggest something to Sasuke. Period. Why? Because they understand him. Especially Naruto who, though he can't accept Sasuke's choices, chooses to die with him instead of selfishly taking his life because he can't stand to see Sasuke plunge deeper into darkness.
And too many other things
