It’s Time To Give Chuck Bass All The Recognition He Deserves

This is Chuck Bass.

Duh.

Nate and Serena (Gossip Girl)

The relationship between Nate and Serena, also known as Serenate, is the friendship and former romantic relationship between Serena van der Woodsen and Nate Archibald.

In the Gossip Girl novel series, Serena and Nate are on-again, off-again. They lose their virginity to each other in the series prequel, It Had To Be You, during the summer before Serena leaves for boarding school. Once Serena returns, their antics often lead to the break-ups of Blair and Nate. Serena realizes her love for Nate at various points in the series. One of the main reasons stopping their relationship is that their best friend, Blair Waldorf, is also in love with Nate. In the final book, I Will Always Love You, Nate chooses Blair in Part I and then Serena in Part II. In the end, Nate ends up with neither, and Blair and Serena go off together as best friends on vacation.

In the 1st season, when Serena returns, Nate hopes to give their relationship a real chance. But Serena refuses, saying ,”I didn’t come back for you. Look, Blair’s my best friend, and you’re her boyfriend, and she loves you.” However, Serena still agrees to meet up with Nate to talk with about their current situation.
