Most Romantic Arnold & Helga Moments from Hey Arnold!

This cute childhood romance is one of the many reasons Hey Arnold! was such an endearing show. The relationship between Arnold and Helga is well written and developed throughout the series. It's a very emotional show, and the little moments between these two are the most rewarding and entertaining.
The Top Ten
1 The ending of the episode 'Arnold's Valentine'

He didn't even know that it was Helga so if he knew he would faint thinking Helga was crazy that night.

2 Arnold shares his umbrella with Helga and compliments her pink bow

This is when Helga first developed a crush on Arnold, as no one had ever shown her kindness like that. The emotion behind this one is just…oh my gosh! Really, the whole episode (Helga on the Couch) pulls on your heartstrings. It also explains why she still wears that pink bow in spite of being a total tomboy.

This was an emotional moment for me. In general, the whole show is great, with some emotional moments.

3 The April Fool's Day tango

I watched this show in unhealthy amounts of time and I'm a just say... they so like each other.

Look at Arnold's angry face and Helga's clueless expression. This is not romantic.

Visitor doesn't understand the trope 'belligerent sexual tension.'

4 Helga gives up the Christmas present she wanted so that Arnold can have the present he wanted

This shows how much she really does care about him, even though she is pretty obsessive much of the time (but who can blame her when Arnold is the one bright spot in her life? ) I also love how her saying "Merry Christmas" outside his door, mirrors him saying "Happy Thanksgiving" outside hers in a later episode.

I love the part when Helga drops the Christmas list and delivers a moral dilemma.

You're all forgetting this is all to help Mr. Hwynn reunite with his lost daughter

5 The rooftop kiss and confession

But in the end helga told arnold she was joking about the whole confession and that she never liked him so her love for him was still a secret as if the movie never happened.

It's pretty hilarious too and the dialogue is so Helga. Kudos to Francesca Marie Smith on her delivery. Poor Arnold though, Helga's a bit too much for him, lol. That kiss was rather gross though...

6 At the end of 'Dinner for Four', Arnold playfully sprays water at Helga and winks at her

It's too cute. This is my favorite moment of theirs. And this scene shows well his subconscious feelings for her.

7 Arnold compliments Helga when she has flowers in her hair
8 The ending of the episode 'Biosquare'

This was kinda a strange episode. But the way they look at each other towards the end is sweet.

9 Arnold hugs Helga involuntarily

He actually did this 3 different times during the series: in Arnold's Hat, Runaway Float, and Arnold Visits Arnie.
