I absolutely think they were at least trying to establish that Sam isn't someone who just goes from relationship to relationship. And she doesn't just fall in love with every guy she dates. Whereas Carly is like that but that is completely normal for her age. The Freddie thing is a big deal because Sam doesn't just go around kissing guys. She doesn't fall in love easily.

I think related to this is the fact that Sam didn't just say she likes Brad in order to get Carly off her back. She could have faked it. She could have gone on a date with a nice fudgy guy. But Sam doesn't just like Freddie. She *only* likes Freddie. She doesn't want to even date anyone else at this point.

I totally agree that Sam liked him for a very long time. And if it wasn't the plan from the beginning it was probably in the works from early on. I think that maybe after the Pilot Dan liked the interactions between them.

All of that being said, and I do agree with you, I also think Carly gets more relationships because she is the main character and technically the show is supposed to be about her life. Not a side story with Sam's dating life that doesn't involve Carly. Although I think that is a pretty silly distinction at this point. All three are the main characters in reality even if its not technically true.
