vaberallaI think Oliver needs to start recognizing that. I think it will take him a lot to really understand Felicity's feelings since he probably has never had those feelings in that way.

With the Shado/Felicity parallels, I wonder if perhaps he might have had the beginnings of that type of relationship with Shado, but she was killed too quickly to further explore that.

vaberallaI always found him and Laurel to be first, physical attraction because if you were really into her you would never have cheated with her sister. Then it became about having a goal and an ideal to stay alive---so then she went from being attractive to being safe.

Just as Oliver had his "Wilson" from the movie Castaway with Tom Hanks, I have come to equate Laurel and the photo he carried of her with that FedEx package with the wings drawn on it that Tom Hanks kept safe. Like you said, it was this 'goal'. In the end he delivered that package closing that door on his life, and he started anew.
