I love Leslie/Ron as friends, but I think they'd make a terrible couple. Leslie loves government work and needs someone who shares her enthusiasm and goals. Ron actively tries to work against the government and I think he would go nuts if he were in a romantic relationship. They would both be miserable

By Andy/Ann do you mean the douchey, mooching Andy that was with her at the beginning of the series or do you mean the lovable goofball that he is now?

*in a romantic relationship with Leslie

See? This is why I ended up getting behind Andy/April.

Andy was a douche-y moocher when he was with Ann, partly because Ann let him. They eventually kind of back-explained that at some point in the series when Leslie pointed out that Ann tends to take on the personality traits of some of the guys she dates, and that MAYBE that's why her relationships tend not to work out.

April, on the other hand, didn't really let Andy get away with pulling that kind of bullshit on her. When she thought he was ready to go running back to Ann, she dumped his ass, albeit temporarily. Plus, she tended to subtly push Andy to do better, whether it was with his band, or getting a job in City Hall, or applying for a job in the Parks and Rec department.

So, yeah, Andy did get turned into the golden retriever of Parks and Recs, but by the same token April actually got a little ambition for herself as a carryover of pushing Andy to do better.

They weren't actually together at that point, April was just really into him and Andy was oblivious to it for a while. When Ann kissed Andy after breaking up with Mark (he didn't initiate the kiss and didn't reciprocate because he had feelings for April at that point), April mistakenly believed that Andy was in love with Ann and pulled away from him.

I don't think April was entirely responsible for Andy's development nor was Andy entirely responsible for April's. They were both super immature at the start of their relationship and there were times where Andy had to push April to do the right thing as well (like when Ben wants them to actually buy things they need for a home and April doesn't want to.)

I think Andy was kind of being set up to grow regardless. Like being dumped by Ann was there to slowly get him to start being able to take care of himself.

I truthfully hated April/Andy at the beginning because they seemed to be getting in the way of each other's growth. Things got better eventually but I am still not into the way they got together nor April's "always follow your impulses" ideals.
