I've been thinking this for ages, and it sounds like something the writers could do if they wanted to explore the more serious aspects of the series: Do you think we will ever get an episode where SpongeBob falls in love with an actual person? He already fell in love with a female burger in ' To Love a Patty,' but this time I'm talking about an actual character.Īlthough series creator Stephen Hillenburg and other staff had confirmed in several interviews that SpongeBob is asexual in response to the many rumors that he is gay after ' Rock-a-Bye Bivalve' sparked controversy, he has actually been hinted with shades of romantic feelings in several episodes (remember, asexual=/=aromantic), usually as ship tease moments to keep the Spandy/Spearl shippers on their toes.
