User blog comment:Churchpants/*Why* Does Sam Love Freddie??/@comment-2242989-20110718001203

Well, I think Sam's started to realize that she had feelings for Freddie, somewhere after iSpeed Date, maybe even questioning herself, "Why did that dance bother me so much?" Maybe she was having a debate with herself, and I think she was trying to force herself to not like Freddie, and tried not to show it, but her feelings for him were coming out too strong. She didn't want her feelings to show, though. Her and Freddie were still playing their game, and she was too afraid to stop, so she just bottled up her feelings.

WHY I think Sam fell in love with Freddie? Everyone can obviously tell that their relationship has developed throughout the series, with them being "sworn enemies" and arguing every minute, to them accepting each other, but still keeping the whole arguing banter. At first, Sam's number one reason to bully Freddie was because she only saw him as the tech nerd who had a stalker crush on Carly, so she mocked him in any way she could, but he fought back and this was different from anyone Sam's ever bullied and teased, because they either run away or are scared of her. But, Freddie stuck around, and never left her side.

And he had a lot of reasons to, too. She always teased him, picked on him, mocked him, and found anyway to make his life miserable, but eventually, they became good friends, even in season 2, with Freddie admitting "It would be miserable if you didn't make my life miserable all the time." You have to admit, with Sam and Freddie playing this game, it added excitement to their life.

Out of all the guys in the show, Freddie has accepted Sam the most for who she is, she didn't change for him, and he likes her just the way she is. The fact that her worst enemy became her best friend and first love proves a lot, and the fact he cared for her, always been there for her, and helped her, must make her feel all warm and fuzzy inside. :)

Freddie's never left Sam's side, and for that, Sam must be grateful for that. She likes the fact he accepts her and is alright with Sam for who she is, unlike Pete, where she felt the need to change into a girly girl. With Freddie, she's completely find, being her true self, and I think that's a plus if someone wants to be in a relationship: acceptance.

Freddie and Sam have both shown signs of caring for each other, such as when Freddie gave up the School at Sea cruise trip to get rid of Missy as she was making Sam's life miserable, and when Sam told Freddie that he was just bacon to Carly. Sam was there for him, helping him out, and that episode proves that Sam cares for Freddie. If she didn't, she would've just let Freddie stay with Carly, until they broke up. In fact, Sam wasn't even that jealous (a bit of jealousy though in there), because as Dan said in his blog, Sam knew that the relationship wouldn't even last.

With these two caring one another for the person they supposedly, "hate" says a lot, about them not hating each other at all!

I think Sam likes the fact that Freddie is nice and smart, but that he also has the side of being sarcastic, devious, and showing his feisty side, because she had fun with Freddie, whenever some of these things happened. In a way, it brought out Freddie's best, standing up for himself, and from arguing, they hung out, and became best friends!

Somewhere along the way, she loved Freddie for who he is, how he stood up for her, how he cared for her, and how he made her stand her ground. I think besides Carly, she is the one who can control him and they complement each other, like Freddie can calm Sam down. Like WeevilWobbie said, he rarely lets Sam get her way, and it sort of indirectly challenges Sam.

I think Freddie could fall in love with Sam. I'm not sure if he's in love with her now, but I think Sam is the perfect choice. She brought excitement to his life, made him happy, even saying his life would be weird if Sam didn't rip on Freddie everyday! It's undoubted that she made an impact on his life.

They trust each other as well, and trust is a major factor in a successful relationship.

And now to my point here, Sam fell in love with Freddie for who he is. Not because he's bacon, not because he's good at computers and she could use him, but she genuinely fell in love with him, for who he is, and that's what makes me feel happy. It's real love and not fake. <3

Sam and Freddie have been playing this game, and now they both gave up and gave in, to fall in love. :)
