Oh man, I was honestly surprised reading that list of names now many times i was like, yeah, yeah, oh i hadn't thought of that but yeah, then too, yeah...I

(I will admit i laughed when I was Nick and eddie. Lol Simon can do better)

Yes (at least maybe, under the right circumstances)

Mary C. Carter - I mean, they had the cutest meet cute ever.

Janet Donner - I've definitely written things where Simon is crushing on Janet hard. In universes where she doesn't end up with Mars, I can see it as possibility. Maybe involving children with very red hair.

Tod McNulty - See Janet Donner. Could see it happening. (At least in universes where Tod isn't Marshall's token straight friend and oddly disappointed in himself over that fact.)

Sara Sue - Could alway see it. Then I wrote them in one little future scene, and suddenly I ship it hard.

None of the other characters - I like the thought that there's a future possibility we haven't even met yet.

No, but I could be made to believe it

Dash X - I've liked the way evilinsanemonkey and lipstickcat, among others, have written this pairing, but I've never personally written a universe where I could make myself believe it. Part of it is similar to why I don't ship Simon with the Tellers, and part of it is I realized it's really important to me that Dash has at least a friend, and in so much of what I write, that's Simon. (Dash/Mars being a whole different thing.)

Melanie Monroe - I've written this possibility once, so this is another where I could be convinced.

Another character - I don't know. There's probably someone I forgot who would work well with Simon.

No one at all - Maybe he's happiest alone?

Nope (I'm willing to be convinced, but right now I don't see it)

Marshall Teller - I just see this one as too much of a sibling relationship. Simon is basically the third Teller kid.

Andrea Fantucci, Steve Konkalewski - Just don't see it. (Even in universes where the latter isn't eaten by dogs.)

Syndi Teller - See response for Marshall. Though, oddly, I could almost see this more than Marshall/Simon. Especially if Syndi moves away for college, and there's some distance between them while Simon finishes growing up.

Nick, Eddie - Ew. froodle's right that Simon deserves better. Maybe one or both of them improves with age?

every comment on this post fills me with Happy Thoughts

[evilinsanemonkey]

Yes to:

Dash x - ESPECIALLY if Mars goes away for college, I can see their bond growing and changing.

Sara Sue - GOD YES

Syndi - IDEK why but I can see it a tiny bit. I can see Simon developing a crush on her when he's older.

Simon/Mars - Say what you will but personally I think it's adorable :-) I'd probably need specific circumstances to actually work it into a story, but I aint opposed. Best friends to lover is one of my fave story types.
Sara Sue/Simon - Again, cute!
someone else - there's plenty of fish in the sea or something.
