@Cartoon: They very well could have thought to take it to the next level earlier on when they were younger, but didn't feel compelled to act on it until they were older. One thing I always thought might have happened was that maybe Nathan liked Jennette as more than a friend early on, but Jennette didn't feel the same way (or if she did, it wasn't nearly as much as Nathan liked her) and so they maybe went on an innocent date or two but ultimately stayed friends. Then Nathan met Madisen and they became inseperable. Jennette was cool with it at first because it got the Jathan shippers off her back and let her do her own thing (you know, date dudes like the one in her back-up band and Max Ehrich, or whatever), but eventually having Madisen (who was probably super skeptical of Jennette) around brought back up her feelings for Nathan (especially after filming the seddie arc and having to spend all that time kissing him and stuff) and that lead to them finally having a thing in late 2011 that was over by the time they started filming the last season of iCarly...aka the moment when their friendship pretty much completely disappeared.

As for Nadisen's seemingly continuous 4 year of cutesy perfection, they had their moments when they went kind of mum about each other that in retrospect are kind of telling, but I wouldn't be surprised if there was a decent amount of keeping up appearances involved as well at various points.
