George's best-friendship with Jerry is arguably the main relationship in the series. Despite their trademark shallowness, there does appear to be a deep fraternal bond between Jerry and George that only makes itself clearly shown very rarely. At one point George mentions his dislike for telling people he loves them remarking casually to Jerry "I like you, I don't tell you." to which Jerry replies "We can only thank God for that." Likewise, once when Jerry's emotionally cold exterior gets broken and his emotions comes flooding out of him he tells George that he loves him as well, which makes George very uncomfortable.
The extreme closeness of the friendship (despite being entirely platonic as Jerry and George are both heterosexual) is occasionally mistaken for homosexuality. One episode deals with a reporter from a New York University college paper mistaking Jerry and George for a gay couple, and in another episode George dates someone who Kramer insists is merely a "femme Jerry", when George is forced to note to himself that the idea of a female Jerry with whom he can have a close personal relationship and also a sexual relationship would be everything he's ever wanted, George breaks off his relationship with the woman in disgust.
