"She didn't like Valerie, but neither did Sam and that was because she was trying to bring down their webshow (and actually, prior to her trying to do that, Carly actually encouraged Freddie to go on a date with her.) She didn't care about Shannon's crush. She didn't care about Melanie. She didn't care about Magic Malika. She didn't care about Sabrina and actually encouraged him to invite her over. She didn't care about Patrice and she didn't care about Sam. Again, she encouraged Freddie and Sam to date" 

Right. I think we need to make a distinction between two things. Being romantically jealous when your friend is dating someone else, and being annoyed when your friend talks about how attractive someone else is.

Carly sometimes exhibits the second, but not the first.

Trust me, as a male, I was always annoyed when a female friend would talk about how "hot" other guys were. It's a general blow to the ego - nobody wants to hear that. It's not "jealousy", though - I wasn't interested in dating my female friend.

This is exactly what we see with Carly. She throws an orange at Freddie when he's drooling over Shelby Marx (because no girl wants to hear that nonsense), but when Freddie is actually trying to date other girls - something more serious than simply talking about a girl's "hotness" - Carly's not bothered at all.

If Carly had real feelings for Freddie, she would have been bothered by Sabrina, Shannon, Melanie, etc.- and Dan would have let us SEE that. But she didn't.
