romance in geass

Do you think that Lelouch loved someone romantically in the end?There have been hints with C.C., Shirley and Kallen.Personally i think that the staff was going with C.C. and Lelouch in the first season and in the second they took the route for Lelouch and Kallen.Shirley was in school and it was hard in the first place.
What is your opinion?

XD I know rite what was I thinking
Seriously though, when I was pretty new here, somebody brought up the subject of romantic relationships and I mentioned some stuff I'd read on TV tropes (which at the time didn't cite specific sources beyond "post-series materials"; now I know it's in the Complete Guidebook and also an interview with C.C.'s seiyuu) about how the creators Jossed Lelouch/CC and AFAIK kind of said Lelouch/Kallen was the official pairing. Or something. Then a big argument broke out because I had no idea what exactly those post-series materials/interviews were.
Personally I don't care if that's what the writers were intending; what's important is what's actually there in canon. Then again I've become very fond of the idea of Death of the Author thanks to George Lucas and Upton Sinclair making me face-palm.

Oh, halcyon geass days. Yeah, most common romance wars were C.CxL vs Kalulu fans. The one argument would be like 'ohhh, look we got lines in the poem, we got aishiteru in context, we got staff backing up, suck ittt you suckers' and the other would be 'dude, we get naked covers. pizza but and lelouch emperor all sexy. nuff said.'

yeah, kind of like that, haha.
i am not sure about tv tropes and stuff and i actually have forgotten a few stuff over time, but there were a few debates over translations and stuff, that supposedly hinted towards a couple and the other.
