Let’s be honest: There are a wide array of couples that are ‘shipped hard on social media, even though there’s not much recognition on the part of their respective show that something is actually happening there romantically. However, this lack of attention doesn’t stop fan art, fanfiction, or Tumblr pages from being created, and we’ve long believed that these relationships are as valuable in many ways as the ones you see on TV. That’s what is so great about this medium: It’s interpretative, and everyone has the right to take away what they want from a show.

As a part of our latest edition of our TV Romances series (one in which we’re highlighting a specific love-related category throughout the week), today we’re talking about Dream Couples: Pairings that should be recognized regardless of whether or not there is a chance of them actually happening on TV. While we never say never to any pairing, it doesn’t appear as though any of the characters below are on the cusp of getting together in the near future.

Take a look at our favorites below; you can vote in the poll at the bottom of this article to have your voice heard! We’ll reveal your favorites on Valentine’s Day.

Liz and Red, “The Blacklist” (NBC) – There’s certainly been elements of chemistry here, but the show has been invested more in the Liz / Tom angle and the biggest glimmer of hope we’ve seen is a passing comment here and there.
