Greek triangles

wishfulclickingMy internet is acting wonky, so I'm keeping an eye on the router before I do things like download mixes (yay!).
While Watching Make it Or Break It, I caught the preview for the upcoming season of Greek, one of my favorite shows. I've seen every episode since I first stumbled on it while I was bored one day and I've even looked around ff.net for fic. But Greek is more of a show I watch often but not one I'm actually fannish about.
The preview has made me revisit my opinion on love triangles in media--
The initial play of will they/won't they/who will x choose is cool for me in the beginning but after a couple of rounds, I start itching for a choice to be made. Seeing someone flit between two people repeatedly makes me wonder if the option of not being exclusive isn't allowed or is the tension more attractive than an actual relationship with one person. (Sure the option of an open relationship or a form of a poly lifestyle is possible--but this is ABC Family and I wouldn't hold my breath on that because I don't want to die).
Also on that note: if someone does not choose you, then back off. (Evan!) Granted all parties are aware of each other, then it's a decision to be involved. If someone doesn't choose X then X should accept that and move on. I don't see continuing to pursue someone who rejected you as a good trait. Being single is an option, isn't it?
Now in the case of Greek, I'm hoping that preview was a bit of misdirection and the part where Evan tells Casey 'you're making a mistake' is in relation to an event that happened regarding a fire. There can be drama beyond triangles.
How much of a trip would it be if all three of them graduated being single with minimal angst?
This is not about one pairing, I'm not attached to either version. (I will admit to liking the energy between Evan and Rebecca)
