Well, to answer those questions of "How do you explain..." you could simply attribute it to poor writing or wanting a cheap laugh. I think there's a possibility that he felt like the sorta dorky/bullied kid should deserve to get the girl of his dreams, but I feel that most of his actions are more easily and better attributed to trying to make cheap moments for each side. I agree with Epic and Turquoise that he wanted to please Creddiers in the finale while not being clear on what the kiss meant so that he could still exploit Seddie for ratings in S&C. He valued these ratings over giving closure to his fans, but I mean that's how he rolls, and he constantly tries to keep things vague to try to appeal to all the fans. I see what iEmbargo is saying but I think all or mos of this can be attributed to the fact that he simply didn't care to address those things you mentioned, not that he's trying to hide his adolescent fantasy. Perhaps that exists but not as much as his desire to keep himself popular with the fans.

If we look at iPilot which Dan wrote, Freddie's crush is immediately shown, but it is played off as a joke. It is difficult to take his crush too seriously; by contrast, Chase is someone you constantly root for to finally confess to Zoey and get to the next step with her, and he seems genuinely interested in his friendship with Zoey even if nothing romantic happened. Freddie shows that he's more willing to do things just cuz he loves Carly ("please, for me"). Also, each time Carly rejects Freddie is played for laughs, and it is difficult to take him seriously as he said he wanted to marry this girl who had no interest in him that way and showed before that she'd side with Sam to laugh at his expense and never seriously put an end to her antics other than the one time she seriously crossed the line (iKiss). Creddie had potential and I understand why people would ship them, but the writers, not even Dan himself took the steps to write them in a way that would make sense leading up to the finale. Those "moments" of Creddie development were just exactly cheap moments.
