Okay so I admit I worded it insensitively. My point is, I don't see why, if Seddie is endgame (and I'm not saying it will be. Not at all. I think anything is possible at this point. I'm not calling it endgame at all. ) but if it was, why would it matter if Carly had a boyfriend as well? Why does it have to be a tit for tat sort of situation? I'm invested in Sam & Freddie because I've seen the relationship progress. If Dan introduced a character for Carly who I could watch the relationship develop with and progress over an extended period of time in a similar fashion, I'd love her ending up with him. But, at least as far as this season goes, it doesn't seem to be going in that direction for her and I don't see the big deal. Like I said, I don't understand why they all have to either be in a relationship or not. If Carly is fine dating around, then what does it matter? It seems contrived to me to throw her with some random romantically undeveloped storyline of a guy just so they can all be paired off. I've seen it in other fandoms and it cheapens things.

Basically if they can give her a well developed storyline with a character and I can watch the relationship grow over multiple episodes, then I'm all for it. I'd love that for her. But if they're just going to stick her with some random boy of the week at the end so everyone can have a boyfriend, I'd rather her just date around and end it single. She can be happily single and dating around. I don't see the problem with that.
