Across television history there have been too many characters that should've dated, but never did. It's sad: They were looking for love in all of the wrong places, when it was in front of them the entire series. Granted, if we had our way and these characters ended up together, the shows would've lost their momentum (see Office, The). As TV lovers, these are the dilemmas that keep us awake at night. Will they? Won't they?

This list is in honor of those characters that we wished would become a "thing" but never did. #foreveralone
