She can let her hair down more there. Visiting Dan in Brooklyn doesn't feel like slumming it as her friend, Blair, suggests , but coming to a place where she can be more uniquely herself away from the family role that she has been frequently forced to play.
A big vice that Dan has is that he is pretty judgmental. Nate is the opposite. He is open to meeting others and doesn't judge them. All around, Nate is an accepting person. While sometimes Nate can seem a little more innocent than other friends in their group, he believes the best in others. However, even when he learns of vices, he gives people chances.
He does love Serena, despite all of her vices. This means that he sees her as a real person, rather than the popular pretty girl on a pedestal. Dan is very smart, and he challenges Serena to be better in many ways. He talks about their income differences and makes Serena acknowledge her privilege. Making things better, Dan encourages Serena when shes goes for career opportunities.
Since Serena is a beautiful and fun-loving person, others don't notice her other qualities. Dan sees that she is kind, and that she is smart. By being with Dan, Serena is forced not to settle for the easy road. Her relationship with Dan causes her to grow. Serena's relationship with Nate started in friendship. In some ways, this makes it a healthier relationship than the one that she has with Dan. Even if she and Nate aren't together, he will always be there for her.
Nate values Serena's friendship. While we could say many things about Nate, one of his strongest qualities is his sense of loyalty to his friends. He would be there for them in a heartbeat. In contrast, Dan has always seen Serena as a potential romance. He hasn't gotten to know her as a friend. Although he cares about her, it isn't exactly the same.
Towards the end of the season, Nate gets back together with Blair, but they agree to end their relationship by the time they graduate. Throughout the season, Nate and Serena remain really close friends. In the third season, Nate realises he still has feelings for Serena and attempts to act on them, but stops when Serena has an affair with his cousin Tripp van der Bilt. However, their relationship ends after he leaves an injured Serena alone after a car accident, afterwards which Nate and Serena get together.
Nate tells Serena that he has been crazy about her all these years since the Sheppard wedding. They begin officially dating in "The Hurt Locket". Gossip Girl dubs the two the "Golden Couple", due to their attractiveness and pure happiness. The majority of their relationship is happy, but different issues test them. Jenny Humphrey still harbours a crush on Nate, and tries multiple times to get between them but fails.
Serena's father, William van der Woodsen also comes back into the picture, along with Carter Baizen, and that causes trust issues to arise with Serena and Nate. After Dr. The next morning, Jenny sees the two sleeping in his bed and sends a photo to Gossip Girl. Nate sees, and after confronting Dan and Serena, decides to forgive her. However, Serena realised her love for Dan and ends her relationship with Nate, hoping to get back together with Dan, her true love.
In Season 4, Nate and Serena aren't romantically involved. It opens with Nate still heartbroken over his break-up with Serena. They are on speaking terms but not super-friendly. Nate starts dating Juliet Sharp, a girl secretly obsessed with taking Serena down. However, Nate soon decides to win Serena back. Serena ends up in a situation where she needs to choose between Nate and Dan. Dan had been increasingly terrible for about three seasons before this point, treating Serena like crap despite her supposedly being the girl of his dreams.
But after it turns out Dan's also been anonymously stalking and humiliating Serena for years under the guise of GG, she doesn't run a mile and file a restraining order. Oh no. She marries him. Because nothing says 'I love you' like an anonymous poison pen blog! In conclusion, Dan and Serena are the worst. We could write a whole essay about why Nate and Vanessa made no sense as a couple, but who would even care enough to read it? Nobody was really shipping Nanessa? They always felt like a backup couple, thrown into the mix to create conflict in relationships we actually liked, and it was a relief when they finally called it quits after backpacking through Europe.
Is anyone else still kind of bitter that Rufus and Lily didn't end up together? They were basically an adult version of Dan and Serena minus the creepy finale , but there was a real spark between them, even though Lily's preference for douchey millionaires was always going to make it impossible for her to choose Rufus in the end.
By the time the pair's long-lost secret love child returned from the dead in season three, it really felt like the writers had no idea what to do with them any more. So Lily ended up with William Baldwin, and Rufus ended up with singer-songwriter Lisa Loeb, and nobody lived happily ever after. Given the way we were introduced to this couple — with Nate having just cheated on Blair with Serena — it was always going to be tough for them to recover, especially because neither of them really seemed all that into the other.
When you get together in junior high, chances are you're going to grow out of each other before you graduate high school.
Even when Nair Blate? Their friendship remained cute and consistent long after their romance ended, though, which earns them a respectable seventh spot. Okay, admittedly our view of Carter Baizen might be skewed by Sebastian Stan's role in the Captain America movies, because it's hard not to ship anybody with Bucky Barnes. Serena and Carter were never going to be a long-term thing, what with him being kind of a shady drifter and her having at least vague aspirations to do something with her life, but they were hella fun together and Stan had more chemistry with Blake Lively than almost any of Serena's other beaus.
Had the finale ended with Carter rocking up to whisk Serena away from her ill-advised wedding, The Graduate style, we would have been more than okay with that.
