I don't think I warmed up to Chuck until late in season 1, but I think it was clear from a few episodes in that, if everything else could work out, Sarah would be far happier with Chuck (regardless of if she kept her career) than without.
With Awesome, I get the feeling, based on a couple episodes in the first season, that he may actually be something of a self-centered jock. Not a jerk, just not necessarily good at thinking about others. But he's really, really in love with Ellie to the point where it typically takes precedence over anything else, and Chuck is kind of an extension of Ellie that's like the pre-adolescent baby brother he never got to teach about girls.
