The way Rares was portrayed in that episode made me feel like Rares shouldn’t deserves any male love interests, ever… I became prefering her as a lesbian.

I agree, in a way, because I don’t think Hasbro would allow something like that, at least not in an exclicit way.
 
To be fair, I don’t think MLP writers know how to write either couples or romances. Their approach tend to be too simple. Twilight suddenly falls in love with someone he doesn’t know whenever she goes into the EG world, Sci-Twi falls in love with a dude after sharing some lines, Rarity falls in love with that hipster in season 4, Maud Pie’s boyfriend is exactly like her…
 
I think the only couple I liked in the last 3 seasons were Applejack’s parents, not necessarily because of them, but because of the whole concept of the episode. I kinda wish that episode had shown more chemistry between these two ponies because most of their relationship is basically “let’s love each other”. But it’s still a good episode. It had shown an interesting twist that, instead of jumping the shark, it gave some layers to Applejack. That’s pretty cool.
 
But before asking for couples, we needed to ask for better romance writters.
 
Speaking about romances, I’ve heard that Lyra and Bon Bon have been married in the show, but I didn’t see it. Was it in the background or something?

That sounds really cool. I always thought Lyra would be the one who would propose.
 
Can I see some screencaps? I know these two appear in The last problem, but I didn’t know there was a newspaper picture of them.

I see, the only good romance in the show by far, other are either poorly written romances or just ship teases.

I’d add Shining Armor and Cadence from A Canterlot Wedding. It’s convinient, but at least the episode gave them some space to be written and properly developed. The relationship between Twilight and her brother, the relationship between Twilight and Cadence, how Shining Armor and Cadence love each other… I think it was nice.
 
Oh! Remember Starlight, the point of this thread? xD

Almost forgot about Caddy and Shiny… Well, that one is decent, but not as memorable as AJ’s parents for me personally.
 
Starlight meanwhile only has ship teases, while both Twilight and Spike can never mix with romance well at all (but I ship Twispike ironically).

Well, still good I bet, being a busy business owner you got no time for petty lovey dovey romantic emotions, otherwise it ruins the whole career.

Oh, I remember thanks to Blueblood. Well, I agree with that too somehow.
 
OK I think we should come back to Starlight now, but where exactly are we??  
Starlight is bisexual.

I like your reasonings. Ring Team isn’t wrong for disliking Starlight. It’s just that his reasons for it are ridiculously exaggerated.
 
@Star Seeker  
I just don’t like people making stuff up or ignoring critical information when criticizing things. I don’t have to like Starlight to see people are saying bullshit about her.
 
That makes two of us.

Just gives up on relationships after just one bad date? Not my rarity she’s a crybaby but shes also determined and hardworking when she puts her mind to it

Not necessarily. What I mean by that is that giving Rarity a boyfriend would make her less independent as a character, and I don’t think this is what the show needed back in 2011, which kinda makes me wish Simple Ways never existed in the first place. The show was about friendship, not romance. And if you want to write a romantic story, at least make it interesting, inventive and creative. Go nuts, think outside of the box, have fun while writing it.
I like female characters when they’re acting like the Ghibli main characters, characters that have strong motivations, goals, not a boyfriend.
