I mean she's lost her Dad, she now lives with her aunt cause said Dad was stolen, and now she can't even do that because she's being targeted for brain-sucking by the Kraang. At this moment in time, I don't think April really is thinking of ANYTHING romantic.

Also April is pretty young in this series, so anything 'romantic' for her would probably be on level of a crush, much like Donnie. In truth, if they make Casey an adult, I see April more or less idolizing him as you would some cool superhero (even if you are surrounded by some), which could make some pretty funny jealousy skits from Donnie.

And Donnie is still really learning the whole aspect of 'opposite sex interaction'. Donnie is sadly on par with 'stalker' mode at the moment, but that's because he really doesn't know how to properly interact with females (I mean you live in a sewer for 15 years with only guys and lets see how well you do with interacting with another species' female ((or half your species since the turtles can be considered half human))). So any real relationship is mostly comedic effect while Donnie learns how to better understand that you can't treat people like computer programs, especially not us women (there's no algorithm that can understand us XD).

Casey on the other hand, if he IS April's age, would have a much better chance with her being able to interact much better with females (unless he as Asperger's like me and just sucks with social interactions entirely), so it would be more reasonable for April to go with a guy who is less awkward. (cause let's face it, in all stories on shows, you rarely see a girl or a guy go for the 'nice but awkward' character.)

So while many can think Donnie and April are cute, until Donnie becomes more mature with handling relationships, the whole dynamic is always gonna be used for comedy relief, sorry dear. <3 im guessing you didnt see the season 1 finale where april and her dad got reunited, that being said you do make excellent points.
