Yeah, but a bit of actual canon romance in this show would be nice. I think one of the biggest deficits that RWBY has is a lack of romantic development between its characters. And the worst part is that they substitute it with ship teases. As if it's the same thing.

No, not every character in this show should be in a relationship. But right now, and correct me if I'm wrong, literally none of the characters in this show are in one. There are mentions of past relationships that are now defunct (e.g. Summer x Tai, Blake x Adam), and as I said before there's plenty of ship teasing, but there are no tangible relationships on this show. I find that odd, especially considering that the cast is made up of young adults fresh out of school; and, speaking from experience, people of that age tend to be engaged in the forays of love.

So yeah, that's definitely something that RT needs to work on in the volumes to come.
