Yes. It does. I don't know why people take Sam and Freddie's relationship more serious than he does. Freddie knows that Sam doesn't really hate him. He uses that as a defense. He knows that Sam is just abrasive aggressive and rude. That's just who she is. He accepts her for this. He stated in iCarly saves tv "SHE IS PUSHY AND AGGRESSIVE!" as if that wasn't even a problem or concern. Because to him, truthfully, it wasn't. He has always been amused by her and everything she has to say. Could it have been platonic at the time? Yes. But once he allowed his feelings to expand the comfort zone of only being Sam's frenemy he realized those were the things he liked about her. He likes her for the person she is, he loves her for her flaws not despite them. Yes, how Freddie feels is important too. And he loves her. I didn't write this to start a debate, just simply to state my opinion :)
