I don't think it's a secret to anyone that Kyon thinks Haruhi is attractive, but based on that solely it's not a good enough reason to start being romancy, but yes I do agree without Haruhi his life would be very boring and she is his only source of entertainment as it is - I'm sure he has garnered some kind of feelings for her.

Well, my point more or less is based of Itsuki's explanation in the Day of Sagittarius episode.
And his point was that so much of the basic relationship was already there, that Haruhi and Kyon are already functionally an unofficial couple. You know, the whole trust thing. It's arguably love, even if it doesn't seem very romantic on the surface. Besides, it seems his destiny is inextricably entangled in hers. Not that it matters, because he doesn't seem to mind this at all. He's already made a decision in that regard by coming to the SOS Brigade every day. I don't know about you, but Kyon kissing Haruhi was sort of the, "yeah, you're pretty much committed to Haruhi" moment. And he does this after confronting the question "what is Haruhi to me?" She's not God, a data anomaly or a time quake. And even though he's sexually attracted to her, she's more than just a piece of tail to him. In fact, he's probably the first person to roll his eyes when people suggest that's why he's with Haruhi in the first place. He's not the type of person to inconvenience himself just because a girl is hot. He'll look, but he's not prone to dashing his brains over the wall of futility. And I suppose, for all practical purposes, most people would face temptation in the affairs marital. I don't really see that temptation coming from Nagato or Mikuru -- since they seem to lack a certain "practical chemistry" that makes relationships work. Mikuru is what Kyon *thinks* he wants. Either way, neither are really practical candidates in the long-run for Kyon. I think the only real competition really comes from Sasaki (from those of you who read the novels). And Sasaki is meant to generate conflict for Kyon, not bring him resolution. Or in short, this is an involved explanation for what everybody knows already. Kyon and Haruhi are going to get together. It's in the story, even if it's not obvious in the plot. So as far as I'm concerned, the matter is a done deal. That's sort of the point: This is a story about a healthy adult male+female relationship being forged in high school and it's both fateful and magical. That's romantic. I got my rise out of it already. Just to underscore the point, how well do high school relationships actually pan out? Was your first kiss nearly as dramatic as Kyon's?

From Haruhi's point of view, Kyon probably seems pretty mysterious. I wonder how much of her attraction is a result of the mystery that Kyon seems to embody. She definitely gets some sense of familiarity when she says "You look familiar, have I met you somewhere before?" He probably reminds her uncannily of John Smith, who answered her fervent prayers on the field and suggested the existence of aliens, time travelers and espers and influenced her decision to come to North High in the first place. Of course, Kyon couldn't reasonably be the same person as John Smith, but Haruhi senses that something is unusual here. And really, with Kyon's special orientation within the Haruhi cosmology, you wonder what Kyon isn't aware of about himself. Haruhi doesn't know about her powers. What does Kyon not know about himself? He pretty much his own endless loop regarding Tanabata . . . Spoiler for a:

Yes, it matter whether he is ordinary or not. An ordinary Kyon is a Kyon we can relate too, a Kyon we can understand. He keeps all the supernatural events around him grounded and within reach of the reader. This is important. (p.s. by your own definition, every character in SOS dan is a slider. Thus, when everyone is a slider, nobody is.)

Spoiler for past novels:
In fact, assuming the split-world in the new novel would even be solved by Kyon, it might be the first time we even see an alternative of what could have happened if Kyon made another choice. As I said, there is a chance this might not even be related to him.

Point taken. We might never know if any of kyon choices were right or not. I just like how the phrase "the man who always makes the right choice" sounded . However you can't deny the fact that throughout the novels most of the choices involved are left up to kyon. So let me rephrase it: whether he makes the right choices or not will probably never know, however the other characters ( Koizumy, Nagato, Asahina(big)) trust Kyon in such matters and believe he'll be able to make the right decions.
