There is an issue in there that is just Jean and Scott after the team had split up. They play the part of boyfriend/girl friend, but there is no indication it's true. There is the usual thought balloon in there indicating the feelings.
What archive is this? The Scott/Jean archive? If so, I think they are wrong. They sure as hell don't meet my definition. I assume you are going by summaries. I read these books, all of them. I have them. Been a long time since I looked at them. I'd lay odds I'm not wrong, though.
Ted Roberts is in maybe 6 issues. The last 3 of them are more about him dealing with his brother. Absolutely, at college, she interacts with Ted almost exclusively. Really none of the other students. I think he might have asked her to grab a soda or coffee with him. An actual date? No way.
It's not like Jean doesn't interact with the X Men during this period. And when she is in the same panels with Scott, you get the occasional thought balloons about how they feel about each other. It hasn't changed.
Again, she interacted with him a fair amount during this period. I would certainly say you could call them friends. Someone could retcon in that something was going on between them. Didn't Brisson, is that his name, do that? Someone could do it. I'd personally find it a stretch. But in the actual books that saw print in the 60s? No way I would categorize Ted Robert as a BOYfriend.
