They may have dated, but Gwen never really felt anything for Flash. poor guy
“did Gwen Stacy date Flash Thompson?”
No.
I’m in the middle of ASM Classics #30 and I heard the debate about this last night.
I don’t get the impression from either the Ditko or Romita issues(I haven’t read many ‘Untold Tales’ or other retcons) that Gwen and Flash ever did anything other than share a table at the Coffee Bean/Silver Spoon together, with Harry(sometimes other nameless characters) tagging along with them. My take is that Flash wanted to be romantically involved with her but she wasn’t attracted to him in “that way”. But “the former beauty queen of Standard High” doesn’t mind admirers around surrounding her, even if she’s not that interested.
Gwen and Flash never refer to each other as boyfriend/girlfriend, they were never “a couple”. I can’t recall any scenes showing them holding hands.
