I agree about the flirting bit. I think Elliot and Olivia have both flirted with one another. it doesn't mean it was meant to be overtly sexual or romantic. Friends can flirt in a playful way, it happens and I don't there is anything wrong with it. social definitions of words expand and can differ from straight dictionary definitions. not everything is black and white.
If you want include in your definition of flirting things that are not in mine, you can. But then we are comparing apples and watermelons. But by your definition, would you consider Elliot's remarks about his tattoos to Jefferies in Stocks and Bondage to be flirting? I would view that as banter in the squad.

Also we don't know that Elliot knows Olivia has a crush on him, there has been no proof of that, that's just your personal speculation
There is plenty of evidence that Elliot knows Olivia has a crush on him and is not interested. Two quick examples. In Scheherazade, Olivia suggests they they go get dinner and Elliot deflects it by saying they get it at the hospice. And at the end of Burned where Olivia is trying so hard to flirt with him, Elliot doesn't even sit facing her. He turns his head but blocks her with his body. He is clearly not interested in opening up to her the way she is trying to get him to.
Elliot picked up on Cassidy having a crush on Olivia as well as the fact they had slept together. I think everybody in the squad knew. If he knew that, he would pick up on Olivia's feelings about him.
------------------------------
Seeing how Elliot is so passionate about his job, if he thought that Olivia was interested in him in a sexual way, do you think he would stay partners with her, most likely not.
On the contrary, Elliot has broken Olivia in as his partner and doesn't want to give up the partnership. They had worked well together. The same way he told Olivia how to let Cassidy get his crush on her because he didn't want to lose him from the squad. If Olivia gets over her crush and realizes again that Elliot loves Kathy and not her, there would be no problem with Elliot and Olivia staying partners. But he has to be careful about it so she doesn't get embarrassed that he knows. Then she'll feel she has to leave the squad like she did at the end of Fault.

"We finally find out why, despite his youthful dreams, he became a cop." says executive producer Neal Baer, "and understand why he runs from emotion."
This part is bugging me...wasn't that already confirmed in Ripped? "Kathy was pregnant, I needed the money"...mystery solved.
Elliot stated in Ripped that he always wanted to be a cop. It wasn't just because he needed the money.
Every kid in the 60s wanted to be an astronaut at most point. It was the most exciting job you could imagine. I'm sure Elliot daydreamed about it after the moon landing. But the idea that Elliot really wanted to be a fighter pilot, doesn't really fit fit beyond that.

Having Fin and Olivia be the ones doing the undercover work wouldn't be such a bad idea- they worked pretty well together in Undercover, both were convincing enough as a prisoner and guard before the basement incident.
Unless Olivia and Fin come to terms with what happened in the basement in Undercover, they are not going to be able to work together.

I definetely agree with this. I think Elliot and Olivia going undercover like that will make them realize that that is what they both want.
Elliot already knows what he wants: Kathy as the woman he loves and Olivia as his partner at work. But hopefully this will help Olivia come to realize that is what Elliot wants.
Number one to clear things up, this board has been pretty much peaceful on the Elliot Kathy Olivia debates and we hope it stays that way. We as E/O shippers don't know what he want's and you as E/K shippers don't know what he wants, and none of us can speak for a character that is still being developed on what he does and doesn't want. Especially when none of us write for svu and the show isn't over yet. End of discussion. There is never going to be and agreement so no need to debate, your not going to change anyone's mind
2)Because Olivia want Her best friend to open up and speak to her she has a crush on him. He's all the family that she has and him withdrawing from her hurts her, just like it would any of us. Elliot has always been more closed off with his emotions, and expressing himself. I'm a girl, and when one one of my male friends is hurting and doesn't want to speak to me, I'm going to try to get him to open up. Olivia trying to repair their relationship to what it was in season one does not constitute her having a crush, and her wanting to spend time with someone who is very important in her life doesn't either. I joke around and tease my brother like that, am I in love with them nonononononononon(sorry creepy thought in my head) It just means she cares for them.
As far as Casiddy. Men know men, just like women know women. Plenty of men complain of not being able to understand women and what they want. We think different and have different emotions, just because he recognizes another male who sees interest in a woman, doesn't mean he'll know when a woman has a crush on a man.
