I just don't see Rolf and Shir together. Shir is a rich girl who goes and steals stuff because she has nothing better to do. She's kind of like the Paris Hilton or Lindsey Lohan of Motavia, and you don't see them dating professional guys with respectable jobs like Rolf. I could see her with more of a bad boy like Kain.

If I had to pair them off, I would put Amy with Hugh, since they are both doctors. But I could also see Hugh as the Platonic friend, who harbors a crush for her.

So If I had choose it would be Amy, but I really don't like Rolf with anyone other than possibly Nei.

Nei was originally paired to Kain (in the settei, he only joined the group because of her).

Besides, Rolf having found her when she looked like a child and raising her, it would be atrocious if he was paired with her.

Right about kain/Kinds, it's said somewhere that he joins, secretely fond of Nei.

Why atrocious ? maybe he found her when she was like a child but we DON'T KNOW if she was really like a child 7 months ago. Look how she looks like when she is one year or a bit more ?
And love isn't beautiful ? (not alwys I know it but ! ;) )
But I respect your point of view :)

I don't think it's even a secret, when he joins in Generation 2 he says that the reason he showed up was because he heard Rolf was traveling with a beautiful girl. I still don't think they make sense together. Rolf and Nei has a history, they've been living together for 6 months. She may have looked young when they met, but so what? Because of the rapid development of numans, we have to throw human standards out the window.

And we can also make a sort of parallel With Rika : she is 1 year old and she is with chaz at the end of the game ?? No problem because it's out of human standards, like Wanderers from Ys said earlier. And more than that, it's a game, a work of fiction so... ;)
No it's not a secret we can see it in different places but I wsan't able to remember exactly where...

For me the argument is the same as you want to get romantically involved with your daughter "a lot has passed and now she is not a child anymore / now we have a lot of story together"

I can't see as normal someone picking up a young child, raising her and then dating her, regardless if it took 6 months or 6 years for her to grow up.

Yes but it's all a world of fiction and just wild imaginings, nothing more. Because in reality no one will be able to grow up like that so...Normality ? I don't like too much this term because we have all our definitions of what is called normality.
And everyone can discuss it so no problem about your point of view :)

She's also not that young when Rolf met her. In Neis text adventure she just looks a little underdeveloped, and she's probably around 14 or so. Rolf is supposed to be around 20. It's probably a bit inappropriate at that point, but within a few months she would be developed much more, and Rolf would start to notice her a bit more. Nei probably had feeling for him the entire time since he's the only one that was nice to her.

He was never meant to be a father figure to her, they were that far apart in age. Also just because he saw her at a younger age doesn't really anything. Lots of people have dated friends young sisters, or brothers even though they have known them since childhood, because they hit a certain age where the age difference no longer matters.

We are not talking about friends sisters or brothers, but dating someone vulnerable that you adopted in order to protect.

The only trustworthy source of how Nei was when Rolf met her is the game itself. And Rolf says "You were very small when we first met, but now you can take care of yourself." If she was like a 14 year old girl, that would make no sense, she wouldn't be very small. And, under these circumstances, I can't see RolfxNei potential romantic relationship other than abusive or incestual
