So what if Barney and Robin are bros, I love Ted and Robin.

posted by Laurencia7

I have always rooted for the under dog, but I can feel it in my heart that some way, Ted and Robin will end up back together.

They make me believe in hope, in love, and defying the odds.
Sure everyone preaches she isn't the mother, but no one said Ted wasn't divorced, or widowed. Who knows, he will find his way back to Robin, "I don't want perfect, I want Robin."

Yeah, Barney and Robin are great friends, but when they went out they only made each other miserable, and nearly killed each other.

Ted and Robin, were always good as friends and more.
Just watch one scene with them and tell me there still isn't something there.

It's like the Cheap Trick song, "After the fire, and the rain...I'll be the flame."

Reasons by Fans:
Because he stole the blue French horn.
Because when she had a bad day, the only person she want to see is Ted.
Because he said I love you on their first date.
Because even if she doesn't like kids, she would have Ted's babies.
Because he doesn't want a perfect woman, he wants Robin.
Because she only said I love you one time, to Ted.
Because she is sad when he is with other women.
Because he made it rain.
Because even Barney was sorry when they broke up.

Quotes:
Pilot (Season 1)
Robin: I think I like your olive theory.
Ted: I think I like your new French horn.
Robin: I think I like your nose.
Ted: I think I'm in love with you.

Nothing Good Happens After 2 A.M. (Season 1)
Robin: Have you ever had one of those days where nothing all that monumental happens, but by the end of it you have no idea who you are or what the hell you are doing with your life? Do you ever have one of those days?
Ted: (smiles) Uhh, about once a week.
Robin: I don’t know, it was just a rough day, and the only person I wanted to see at the end of it was you!

Come on (season 1)
Ted: Robin! Hey!! Robin!!! Oh, thank God you're here!
Robin: My camping trip got rained out!
Ted: I know; I'm sorry.
Robin: ..It's all your fault?!
Ted: Yeah, it is. Come down here.
Robin: But it's pouring! You come up!
Ted: No, you have to come down here!
Robin: Why?
Ted: Why? Because I MADE IT RAIN!!! That's what I did today!!! And that's enough! I..I've done my part, now GET DOWN HERE!!!
Robin: I'm not dressed, Ted! Come up!
Ted: I'm not coming up there, Robin. I'm not. You HAVE to come down here!
(Robin contemplates going outside, looks at the blue french horn Ted gave her, and decides to go outside. As soon as she opens her door, Ted's there.)
Robin: I was gonna...
Ted: I know.(they kiss)

First Time In New York (Season 2)
Ted and Robin are hugging at the apartment
Robin: I love you. I said it, it feels right, I love you.
Ted: I'm gay.
Robin: Oh God..
Ted: I'm kidding!

Something Blue (Season 2)
Robin: You stole the blue French horn for me.
Ted: I would have stolen you a whole orchestra.

Legendary Great job!

Laurencia7 Thanks! Reference the ep "The Rough Patch" if you think Barney and Robin work, others.

freshfunkpride Barney and Robin do work, and I know that they will end up together! Both of their characters still have a lot more growing and maturing to do before they are ready for that relationship. Lily screwed things up a bit in Definitions when she forced them to have "The Talk." It put all sorts of pressure on them and in the end it became too much. Barney's character has been growing immensely lately, and he has begun to realize that he's not going to be that swinging bachelor forever. Once he and Robin have both experienced some more character growth they will realize that no one on the Earth will make them as happy as each other. Referencing the ep "Hopeless:" Barney: "Deep down you know you were never happier than when you were with her." He said this as if it was his father's perspective, but his father doesn't even know that they dated, let alone how happy he was during. Barney was also very spaced out and dreamy when he said this. Lastly, Ted and Robin have absolutely nothing in common. They're polar opposites, and in this case, opposites do NOT attract. He's a sappy romantic, she's a cynical smart-ass. He reads ancient literature, she plays laser tag and smokes cigars. She just works so much better with Barney. (Not to mention in the ep. "Hopeless" the disgust she showed at having to act like she was Ted's girlfriend.) I agree that in "The Rough Patch" and the beginning of Season 5 in general, Barney/Robin didn't work. But that was because they both weren't ready for the relationship yet. Mark my words-- they WILL end up together. You wait and see :) ♥
