The reason why I refuse to ship them until seasons 6/7 is because their long-lasting friendship prior to their romance is so unique on television and in life. I think that a sexual relationship that blossoms out of a long friendship is special because it means that the relationship isn't based on just sex. Maybe I'm cynical but I feel like the typical relationship is formed with the main goal in mind being regular sex. When two people who have been friends for years decide to have sex it's pretty obvious that sex is an afterthought.
