User blog comment:WildJackal/Sam beating Freddie a sign that she loves him?/@comment-3537796-20110719012824

I think at first, Sam beat up Freddie simply because he annoyed her. He was a nerd and his crush on Carly bothered her. Plus, she probably liked getting him riled up,

As the series grew and her feelings started to change. Sam hated it. She didnt like feeling what she was feeling towards Freddie. He wasn't "her type". He was soft, nice, techy, and a good boy in general. Lets not forget the fact that she thought he loved Carly. It went against everything she ever knew. She probably hated loving Freddie because he was Freddie!

Jonah, Pete and Shane, and anyone else she actually dated. They were all people she didnt mind having a crush on. She liked them. She actually wanted something to happen with them. Thats the reason she didnt beat them. Sam doesn't mind dating guys. She just minds dating Freddie.

Have you ever had a crush on someone you really didnt want to have a crush on. recently i have, and the moment he came in front of me and started rambling on i had the strongest urge to slap him and punch him. i kept repeating "ugh, i hate you"

After the exchange ended (and i hadnt heard a thing he said) I began to understand where Sam comes from. The only difference is that Sam would act upon those urges. She hated loving Freddie. She probably blamed him for making her like him. It was another thing that irked her about him, he was causing her annoyance, so she hit him.
