I'd be a lot cooler with the McKeller if Keller had friendships with the rest of the team - "marrying into the family" as it were. But two of the major McKeller episodes physically separate Rodney from his team...
But a romantic partnership isn't formed with family. It is, by its nature, something that must start with the featured two. It's afterwords that family gets brought in. No matter who Rodney formed a romantic partnership with, it was going to happen with just the two of them. Even if SGA went totally bold and made his partner John, we would have had an ep or two that featured just them forming their new relationship. But, once that partnership is formed, family becomes part of the package.
