User blog:TheFruitless/Here's a theory: There will be no official pairing.

The creators have said time and time again the show is about friendship. Not romance, but friendship. And to be honest, it shows.

There's very little explicit romance between the 3 protagonists. Crushes come and go which is surprising considering their age. Pairings are just opinions and can be pushed aside by canon.

When compared to previous works such as Drake & Josh, Zoey 101, or even The Amanda Show it lacks a considerable amount of romance and replaces it with through-and-through friendship. Most of the bonding is platonic.

Even Freddie's crush on Carly didn't get in the way of their friendship. Emphasis on "didn't" instead of "doesn't". It seems to have gone on the (very) down low or disappeared completely. They said they were going to go back to being friends but I find it a bit hard to believe that a kid could show no romantic attraction to a girl he likes. He shows not even the most subtle flick of romance and instead coos at other girls.

Carly and Sam haven't had many boyfriends, and the ones they do have both irritate the other and are considerably similar to the other.

From the looks of it romance will never be a big part of the show. I can't find it lasting more then 3 more years before being replaced with a show revolving around Gibby or Nevel's actors either. That means it's almost done and with no real romance.

It has no romance plot to put it simple. Zoey 101 had romance as a big plot point, Drake & Josh had both casual "only an episode" romance and long running romance, and even The Amanda Show had a few romance points between Penelope and some guy (not to forget the not-so-subtle one between her and Amanda either).
