Well, Vanessa and Dan have been a couple before the show... but yes, technically, in the show, they have never been together... and maybe it is better that way...

ahhh, yeah- how V was unable to leave was really fun, especially since she coinsiders herself really decisive person :P not in that case, obviously :P

ah, yes... 3 season courtship.... I watched those 3 seasons in two weeks so it was not such a torture like for the people who have watched the show since the beginning, but still... the final season is enough for anyone to get crazy...

and I don't know about Chuck/V... remember that Chuck was supposed to hit on her in the previous season, to buy some shop and so on in order to impress her? I think the sparks started back then... and you know what they say about hate and love? The best indicator for attraction is if the characters can't stand to be around each other :P:P
