I came up with a (in my opinion pretty smart and realistic) description of Auslly's relationship. Plz read. (It's pretty long though)

Austin and Ally were always meant to break up in Couples & Careers. And here's why.

In season one, Austin and Ally were just barely 15 (proven by the fact that Trish, who is the same age as at least Ally (since they went to kindergarten together), and Ally has the same teacher as Austin, shown in Backups & Breakups). They were extremely immature on several levels (Austin chasing after random girls that he doesn't even know the name of, Ally freaking out over the smallest things, etc.) and probably weren't even mature enough to handle their partnership, realistically. But let's overlook that.

In Secrets & Songbooks, Austin panics about the fact that Ally likes him. But why would he care so much that it could ruin their friendship if it was really a surprise? What if he had suspected or at least considered this for awhile? He had already decided in his head that a relationship between him and Ally wouldn't work. So when Ally told him she liked Dallas, not him, he immediately shut down any theories on the idea that there would ever be anything between them. This, effectively, put them in the "friend zone". Now that Austin didn't even consider the idea that there may be something between them, Ally got the message and, even though she didn't do as well as Austin, she, too, shut down the part of her mind that considered a relationship.

Because neither of them considered a relationship, their relationship never truly matured. They never became any closer than they were previously throughout Season 1 (except maybe in Bloggers & Butterflies). In my opinion, Albums & Auditions was the breakthrough for Ally- she once again began considering that maybe she and Austin could become a couple. This is proven in Backups & Breakups- Ally brings up the possibility of them being a couple, Austin quickly (and awkwardly) denies it, and Ally (even more awkwardly) agrees.

However, Ally never really gave up on the idea that she and Austin could eventually end up together, even if only subconsciously. This led to the events of Girlfriends & Girl Friends. Additionally, this episode showed that Ally was extremely mature in her relationship with Austin; despite having a crush on him, she was completely willing to help him go out on a date with another girl. But Trish managed to get into her subconscious, so even though Ally has quite a bit of maturity in the relationship, she slowly begins to lose the mature side to become the standard teenage relationship.

In Campers & Complications, it's revealed that Austin still isn't mature enough to handle a relationship. After Dez manages to convince Austin that a relationship is still possible, he begins to become extremely and immaturely jealous of Elliot, and tries to force Ally to like him more.

Chapters & Choices continues the string of immaturity from Austin's side. Austin refuses to let go of Ally or Kira- while I understand this kind of choice can be hard, he fails to face it in a mature way, and focuses on the fact that "they're both great so I can't say no". He does mention that he doesn't want to hurt them, which is more mature.

Austin then chooses Kira over Ally. While the reason implied is that he overthought being with Ally, the truth is that he underthought it- Kira's pretty and she's already agreed to be his date, so why should he take a chance with another girl just to be dumped by both?

But then Austin, immaturely (of course), changes his mind nearly instantly. He kisses Ally. Why did this happen? He didn't really think about his relationship with Ally or Kira. Ally has been his friend for a year or two. They've been through thick and thin together, and are almost inseperable. Kira is a girl he met a month ago and thought she was pretty, so he asked her out, and she said yes.

So then Austin handles the situation with Kira. Maybe not in the best way, but fortunately, Kira is mature, and takes it well. In fact, it's shown in Tracks & Troubles that Austin and Kira have kept a steady friendship, and even work together to plan a party for Ally in Tunes & Trials.

Now Austin goes back to Ally. They end up as a couple. Hooray, happy ending.

But look.

This entire relationship was founded on immaturity.

Austin and Ally both shut down the idea of becoming a couple early in their friendship. Their relationship didn't start maturing until Albums & Auditions- and even that was only on Ally's end. Austin didn't even start considering the idea again until Campers & Complications, only two episodes before they became a couple.

Now we're to Couples & Careers.

Because they now have a label, Austin and Ally treat each other different. But why should this be any different than their normal interactions? The immaturity that the relationship is founded upon forces the idea that being a "couple" forces you to act differently around each other. They didn't have time to figure out what they really thought about each other, and what made being together great. So it didn't go well.

But now the idea of being a couple is firmly planted in their heads. Because they broke up on good terms because they weren't ready yet, this doesn't stop the possibility of them getting back together.

As such, their relationship finally starts to mature.

While they aren't ready yet, they're almost there.

Once they show the right amount of maturity to truly be a couple without making themselves uncomfortable, they'll finally be ready to be a couple.

My theories only, btw. But I wanted to share :P
