I love writing crossovers, and I agree with what you had to say. It was very refreshing to read an actual essay about writing crossovers, since there are so many *badly* done ones out there. I do not write for any of the shows that you mentioned, but I can definitely make parallels to the shows I watch.
Crossover couples are generally a bad idea, especially with already established couples. I have found that the best ones involved characters that were already single.
About the secret thing, you are right when you said that it is unrealistic for people to suddenly tell important secrets to people they just met. Even trusting people (myself included) wouldn't tell their biggest secrets to someone new.
