Fred's sexuality

[Soupperson]

Out of curiosity did Fred have a crush on anyone in the original shows? I can't remember him having a crush on anyone they met, though I could be wrong. I believe Daphne in Witches ghost was his first love interest, nearly 30 years since his debut! 

If this is the case I honestly wouldn't mind if Fred became gay in a series or even asexual, I find it weird Velma often being called the lesbian despite her occasionally flirted with the celebrity guest star.

I think both Fred and Velma were originally intended to be straight, it's just that early on in the cartoons not much emphasis was given to relationships proper.

Fred isn't gay, he's just the equivalent of the guy who ignores his wife's advances to go watch sports or play video games, just in his case it's his love of mysteries and/or traps.

Velma is straight too. Why else would she try to mold Shaggy into her ideal man by forcing him to be brave despite his cowardice? Fred doesn't ignore all of Daphne's advances. Just most of them.
