User blog comment:Churchpants/Seddie And Creddie: Both Cliche??/@comment-1859088-20110721181326

I think if you simplify Creddie/Seddie down, it's really the most common A vs. B out there. You have the "similar"/"history"/"boy-next-door" type of ship, and then you have the "opposites attract"/"bickering"/"boy-I-love-to-hate" type of ship. It isn't as much about B being more unexpected as it is easier to spot A first because it is typically introduced in an existing "best friendship" with suspected or declared, one-sided feelings compared to building a friendship from scratch between people who share tension.
