I don't watch Arrow for the romance but I don't think it is necessary to leave it completely out of the story. Oliver Queen is supposed to flirt all around (as far as I know because the Smallville Oliver Queen was, too), but I prefer it if he does not have a new relationship every episode or even every season. I like relationships like Monroe/Rosalee in Grimm, Dax/Worf in ST
S9 and Samantha/O'Neill in Stargate was also great. They are there but they don't take too much away from the story but fit nicely into it.
So what is the alternative to Olicity? I don't see any. I would not like it if he is completely solo because then Oliver Queen being Oliver Queen he would have a different date every episode. An new character? NOT AGAIN! (Sorry.) So who is there?
That is why I simply hope for Olicity and better writing. In season one and two I liked Felicity and partly because she didn't seem to be into Oliver Queen just like every female in that world. Made her special. If the story would have been that they slowly started to be attracted to each other due to specific experiences and realizations I would have been okay with it. But as it turned out Felicty had a crush on Oliver all along and that really put me off. And then the Clana writing style full of "I want to but I can't" and "you lie and keep secrets". Seriously, where is the romance in that?
But things are better this season - maybe it will be all well after all.
