Apparently it was explained (about Ronon) in a scene that was filmed and ended up on the cutting room floor. I hope it's alright to post it here, it will (hopefully, fingers crossed) be in the deleted scenes on the DVDs, and it's not spoilery as it's not canon.
Carter: So...you seeing anyone? Keller: What? Carter: Around the base, you seeing anyone? Keller: I dunno...I had a moment with - with this...guy. He’s not exactly easy to read so...I guess the short answer is “no”. You? Carter: Well, I’m the boss, so I can’t really... Keller: Right Anyone back home? Carter: Uhm... Keller: Un-huh, I thought so. Give it up. Carter: Well, it’s complicated. Keller: Show me a relationship that isn’t. Carter: He’s in Washington...I’m here. Keller: Ouch. Long distance relationship. Carter: He’s going to retire soon, so maybe - Keller: Really! Retire? So...an older man, huh? Carter: Not that much older. Keller: Washington, older man...is he like a Senator or something? Someone famous? Would I know him? Carter: Probably not.
As you can imagine, the S/J shippers are going crazy over this!
