Take that I am unsure the temperature of: Anyone who thinks Kaladin and Shallan should date has fundamentally misunderstood the point of the whole love triangle arc, which was about being in love with the image of someone vs being in love with the actual person. Kaladin and Shallan were in love with their perceptions of each other but didn't care to actually understand each other beyond the images they'd built. They only saw each other as ideals, not real human beings.
