I really wish Marvel would have followed up on this relationship as well. Even besides the date issue they dropped other hints as well, none more obvious that the Spider-Man: Siege issue where Spidey is taking on Venom and who of all his New Avengers buddies has his back? Carol
Then Venom's revelation that after he possessed Carol for a few minutes he was able to determine that she has feelings for him. Then the last page where Spidey confesses that he is still not sure he should be in the clouds with big hitters like the Avengers to which Carol replies "I like you here in the clouds with us" and finally when Spidey questions the emotions that Venom felt and Carol says "its complicated. But that's not saying its bad". Spidey says "you like me" and Carol simply replies "shut up", sort of in the vein that a little kid who got busted cause they like someone would say it. They had everything set up to go forward with this and they dropped the ball.
