I think the logic behind Creddie shippers is that Carly is "the girl next door"-- He's the little nerdy boy and she's the hot babe. He hopes for the day that he'll grow older and she'll see him in a different light, as a more masculine person than the nerdy little boy she once knew. That's how the story typically goes for "girl next door" stories.
