Laurel and Oliver grew up together and fell in love in high school. Oliver always thought Laurel was too good for him, suffering from low self-esteem which caused him to never take himself seriously. He hurt Laurel gravely by cheating on her multiple times, most cruelly with her own sister, Sara. When Oliver returns from the dead, Laurel wants to hate him but finds herself unable to. Increasingly, this is due to how Oliver's true character has come to light and they reunite briefly, only to have Tommy die tragically. This prevents their reunion and Oliver moves on to Sara, then later marries Felicity. In spite of this, they are soulmates linked for life and Laurel confesses to Oliver that she still loves him, just before she dies. Oliver is haunted by her death and, when granted a dreamscape of his most inner desires while captive by the dominators, dreams that he and Laurel are getting married.
Helena Bertinelli
They meet while Oliver's "undercover" in the local Italian mob in Starling City and flirt almost immediately. Helena tells Oliver her story of how her fiancé was murdered and she wants revenge. Out of shared scarred past they find commonality and sleep together. Oliver eventually discovers that she is The Huntress, akin to Oliver but lacking his "restraint" and focus. He tries to "save" her and for a while they start dating, until Helena meets Laurel and feels betrayed by Oliver enduring love for Laurel. They break up and Oliver has to fight her on several occasions, where she meddles in his relationships with both Tommy and Sara, respectively.
Shado Gulong
Oliver meets Shado on Lian Yu, when Yao Fei Gulong has brought Fyers to the plane and helped capture them. Oliver is furious asking why Yao Fei would help him if he's a traitor, but then they see Shado and learn that she is his daughter. After Fyers kills Yao Fei, Shado, Slade and Oliver manage to escape and Oliver kills Fyers with an arrow. Shado gets to know the guys and tells them how her father disappeared and she looked for him for years. She and Oliver get close and eventually sleep together, but Sara's appearance shows Shado a different side to Oliver. After Slade dies and they are captured by Ivo, the latter shoots Shado dead and Oliver blames himself.
