Yes. The Ripped My Pants episode makes it obvious. They didn't go through with it because SpongeBob is too much of a kid at heart to have a serious romantic relationship.

The show's bible states that the intention was that, but executive decisions changed a few things around.
You can see glimpses of the original idea in the hibernation episode.
It was definitely on the table early into the show with some hints here and there that Spongebob liked her, but after season 1 the showrunners appeared to be content with them just being buddies. Which is fine, I don't think Spongebob needs a canon love interest even if the ship is cute.
I see... so I can look into my room mate's eyes... lock lips with him, shove my tongue into his mouth, caress his tender man nipples... and as long as we don't have sex, we'll still be friends?
Good to know, thanks for the advice, anon.
I wouldn't say the ship is entirely dead, some side media like books and games do enjoy throwing it in.
Like Cosmic Shake has Spongebob spilling spaghetti every time he runs into Sandy and tries to sound manly in front of her. It sticks out because she (and Gary) are the only characters he gets excited about running into.
Which is fine with me, I prefer small teasing over actual hooking up.
They've definitely teased the ship. Remember that episode where it looked like Spongebob and Sandy were going to get married but it was just a play or something? I think the writers want to keep it subtle to have people guessing or keep Spongebob open for someone else. I mean, they had him take Pearl to the prom before, and people speculate on how old Spongebob truly is. Some say he was 15 in season one.
hes not 15 he mentions going to high school in the past tense in s2
Spongebob is an adult. He just has child-like hobbies and a naive, optimistic view on the world (which many consider childish). It's the whole point of the movie.
Spongebob dries up in her treedome because as she said in her introductory episode that it is VERY hot and VERY dry. Spongebob can otherwise survive at a basic surface for a period, as shown by various episodes like Pressure, and even the first movie.
I've been rewatching through Season 1, and that's definitely the vibe I've gotten. The major episodes that point towards this vibe in my mind are >Tea at the Treedome
Major first date vibes. Spongebob goes to Patrick for advice and nervously says "Patrick... I met a girl" which leads Patrick to act as wingman. At the very least, Patrick sees it as a first date between Spongebob and Sandy. >Karate Choppers
The way Spongebob and Sandy interact in this episode is very cute and feels like a new couple being addicted to whatever form of PDA they have. (In this case, Karate.) The scene in the park is what really makes it feel this way. Sandy blurts out that she wants to do Karate, and Spongebob blushes and says "You mean, r-right here?" which feels like a nod towards a sexual undertone. The way that they interact when getting more tense when cutting up the meat for sandwiches is also very cute. >Ripped Pants
While Spongebob definitely enjoys the public attention that his ripped pants bit give him, it's clear that he's mainly doing it to impress Sandy. It makes her laugh, even when it starts to bother other people, which makes him do it more.
After Spongebob takes it too far and pushes everyone away, he sings a song that's specifically about Sandy, mentioning that she wont look at him and that she would never want to dance with him now.
Overall, it feels pretty overt. While I understand them wanting to move away from it, I think what is there is actually very cute, and I like it a lot.
>saving bikini bottom storyboard had a scene where Spongebob briefly tries to show off to Sandy by telling her he's a ride or die sponge while changing his facial structure to look like a chad. >some fricker had them change it in the final version.
I don't know, you usually see it with anyone who isn't the main character (Or any show with more than one girl in the main cast).
The whole boy and girl can't be just friends is was more common in movies if anything.
who cares? why do you want to imagine spongebob having sex?
No one brought up sex you freak
what romantic relationships don't involve sex? that's just platonic friendship.
Friends don't kiss.
Asexual which spongebob has been confirmed to be too lol also i dont think sea sponges have sex organs
Who says they have to have sex? Just how horny are you?
>romantic relationship
>no sex
then its not romantic.
Like your virgin ass knows the first thing about love.
>sex is involved
romantic.
>sex isn't involved
platonic.
simple as.
>enters brothel to get some sex
peak romance
its more romantic than getting friend zoned by some chick.
Anon, we don't want to hear about your pathetic attempts at courtship.
What about if there's open mouth kissing? Can't say I've ever kissed a friend.
Oh anon, you are so very wrong. It's kind of sad, really.
>mmmmm ackchually i romantically love my platonic male friend more than i romantically love my wife/gf who i frick
totally straight and not very gay.
A majority of cartoon couples aren't romantic then.
I know you're being moronic on purpose but try harder.
Question is. why do you not want to imagine spongebob having sex?
At what point exactly? At least in her first appearance it didn't strike me that way.
Yes. The Ripped My Pants episode makes it obvious. They didn't go through with it because SpongeBob is too much of a kid at heart to have a serious romantic relationship.

so spongebob is a beta orbiter.
Really? What, you thought that Sponge Bob was some super alpha male before reading this?
No, he's gay.
Take your delusional fetish elsewhere.
The leaked sketches from the show animators demonstrate everyone in Bikini Bottom is an unhinged, maniacal degenerate
i'm glad they kept it more subtle, i like that he has a casual crush
We need to go back.
so sandy was going to be even more annoying??
SpongeBob is a homosexual.
It was definitely on the table early into the show with some hints here and there that Spongebob liked her, but after season 1 the showrunners appeared to be content with them just being buddies. Which is fine, I don't think Spongebob needs a canon love interest even if the ship is cute.
I got that vibe from Tea at the Treedome.
yeah what do you think "karate" refers to?
cuddling?
Erika Nagai did karate sex.
Really, a romantic interest for a literal sponge.
Are people here so desperate to force their sickening ships into everything?.
It's a question about what Sandy was originally going to be. Learn to read.
He isn't a literal Sponge. He's a figurative sponge moron.
>literal sponge.
That's not how you use "literal" in this case
You don't sing a Beach Boys cover to a girl unless you really love her.
*sings vegetables*
they woulda made a cute couple, too bad the show will never end and it became such uninspired slop
Land critters and sea creatures can't fall in love, silly
Ariel says frick you.
we are all gonna make it
>just a dream
Oh boo.
I see... so I can look into my room mate's eyes... lock lips with him, shove my tongue into his mouth, caress his tender man nipples... and as long as we don't have sex, we'll still be friends?
Good to know, thanks for the advice, anon.
do you not understand what sexual intimacy is?
Ah, ah, ah. You said as long as there is no sex it's platonic.
sexual intimacy =/= sex
Ah, ah, ah, it's not romantic as long as the dicks don't touch.
Probably originally. You can kind of see it in the first season
I think the writers just felt that sponge Bob was too childish for romance
I wouldn't say the ship is entirely dead, some side media like books and games do enjoy throwing it in.

hes not 15 he mentions going to high school in the past tense in s2
That's why I said Season 1. And highschool drop outs are a thing.
I think he mentions in The Chaperone that he couldn't get a date for his own high school prom.
Spongebob is an adult. He just has child-like hobbies and a naive, optimistic view on the world (which many consider childish). It's the whole point of the movie.
i just realised they can't ever kiss because sandy needs to breath air and spongebob needs water.
That's so tragic

>At the very least, Patrick sees it as a first date between Spongebob and Sandy.
In the book version he even congratulates Spongebob.
As a sucker for cute shit, I love them episodes.
cutie squirrel
the karate episode is a metaphor for a sex addiction and spongebob jerking off onto the lettuce because he couldn't have a bathroom quickie with Sandy
>saving bikini bottom storyboard had a scene where Spongebob briefly tries to show off to Sandy by telling her he's a ride or die sponge while changing his facial structure to look like a chad.
>some fricker had them change it in the final version.
i liked that a boy and a girl could just be good friends. you don't get to see that a lot
I don't know, you usually see it with anyone who isn't the main character (Or any show with more than one girl in the main cast).
The whole boy and girl can't be just friends is was more common in movies if anything.
