Reception To Relationship With Daphne
Members of the fanbase of the original Scooby Doo speculated that Fred and Daphne Blake had a romantic attraction to one another. The makers of the Scooby-Doo film originally planned to refer to the rumor by including a scene where Fred asks to stay with Daphne, using the presence of a toothbrush to imply that he wanted to stay with Daphne for the night. The scene was not included in the final version of the film. In Scooby-Doo and the Witch's Ghost, Daphne and Velma both inquire as to why Fred always wants to split up with just Daphne by his side. In Scooby-Doo! Curse of the Lake Monster, Daphne believes that they are dating and Fred believes they are just "hanging out". Although the two are caught kissing at the beginning of the film, it is later stated by Daphne that they are better off just as friends for the sake of Mystery Incorporated. In Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated, Daphne is in love with Fred and in the episode "Dead Justice" they have their first date, kiss, and Fred asks her to marry him. In later episodes, the engagement is broken off and their relationship continues to evolve.

“I gave a speech in Omaha. After the speech I went to a reception elsewhere in town. A sweet old lady came up to me, put her gloved hand in mine, and said, “I hear you spoke here tonight.” “Oh, it was nothing,” I replied modestly. “Yes,” the little old lady nodded, “that’s what I heard.””

—Roy Lichtenstein (b. 1923)
“There’s Margaret and Marjorie and Dorothy and Nan,
A Daphne and a Mary who live in privacy;
One’s had her fill of lovers, another’s had but one,
Another boasts, “I pick and choose and have but two or three.”
If head and limb have beauty and the instep’s high and light
They can spread out what sail they please for all I have to say....”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
