Hey :) I read your article that you had linked here and I loved it, I was wondering what’s your take on Oliver asking Sara to move in with him in 2.20 when he was already in love with Felicity, think he was shutting his feelings down or something?
The whole relationship with Sara was Oliver allowing himself to have something more with someone he cares about. Moving in with Sara, someone he shared the Island past, which makes their bond really strong, isn't a such big deal if he was deciding to move in with someone he met in the present. I don't see that as a big deal. Oliver, back then, already decided he wouldn't be with the woman he loved, he let Felicity go, so he was "moving on" with someone he cared about, although he wasn't in love with Sara.
I'm just honestly satisfied that I was right and Oliver has been in love with Felicity the whole time, he just didn't choose to act on it. He's good at compartmentalizing. And that's what happened: he put Felicity in the 'do not touch' box and tried to go on with his life with a woman who represented no risk (no 'in love' feelings) and that could take care of herself (trained assassin).
