Mint, there is an edit button for you to use if you accidentally send early. But you are forgiven.
On topic, I think Fry explains why he's so in love with Leela pretty well in "The Cyberhouse Rules". She's unique and different. Fry hated many aspects of the 20th century, because they were too dull and boring. Besides, she was the first person he met when he was unfrozen, and she befriended him rather quickly. Also, what mint said ... she's his heroine. But why, oh, why did it take so long for her to realize he was her hero? And alas, it was too little, too late ...

Originally posted by Evil Abe: There have been several discussions, it seems on why Leela has not started or has a relationship with Fry. This thread is about why Fry has fallen so in love with Leela. Fry for the most part does not take relationships seriously and in general has a short attention span. Leela he has focused contiously on for a long time. So why do you think he has changed so much in other words matured him? What is it about Leela or is love something that can't be explained? Leela was created partly to play the role of love interest for him, but their relationship has changed a lot. At first they were standoffish, later they become friends, eventually they fell in love. Just compare the early shipper ep A Flight to Remember with Parasites Lost, and there's a clear difference between their relationships. Fry talked the talk in the former, but there was never any sense that there was anything really there the way there was in Parasites. As for why Fry matured, I don't think he really did during the series, he never gets smarter, or more hard-working, but he does change a lot in one way - he goes from being casual toward the people he knows to treating them like they were the most important thing in his life. Teral once said to me that the romance can't be the major part of Futurama because there aren't really that many episodes about it, but i think he missed the point - the love story isn't just about the romance either, because love, friendship and character are all connected in their story. The early Fry says 'damn!' when told he's loved as a friend, but he later comes to understand he was wrong, that his friends are the most valuable thing he ever had. Leela starts by rejecting Fry as not up to her standards but comes to realise her standards aren't what she really wants. That's not the full story but maybe its a taste of it. As for why Leela, David A's got it right. Fry and Leela are both deeply lonely at heart, and for that reason they understand each other in a way that none of the other characters do.

Jerkberg:
Issue 15: Leela risks life and limb to keep Fry from dying. (It's actually a lot funnier than that, but it's what she does.)
Issue 12: Leela gets a girl Fry is seeing to break up with him, and the end of the issue has Fry and Leela hugging on a bed in a *very* shippy pose. It's actually a *really* good issue, well worth seeking out.
