Agree he needs a positive, but love life isn't the only form of positive. I'd actually like to see him hang out with Duke as a friend since they are close in age, or Steph. Let him have fun.

Again not against a romance but that takes a lot of time to build and the boy needs friends. Conner Hawke is a good start, but let's expand it. Bring back Maps, let him meet Wally's kids (they're his age), give him back Collin and his friendship with Steph. Let him meet Nell Little, have him interact with Airwave (Hal told his nephew to learn from a bat and it could be funny). He needs his own crew of buddies like Dick and Tim have. I'll even add having Tomasai maybe do a words finest might reconnecting Jon and him too.
