Why I think Clementine could have a romantic interest in Season Three
Hold the phone. Let me make some things clear. I am not saying Clementine WILL or SHOULD have a romantic interest in Season Three. I am simply saying she could, and I am simply explaining that if done right I honestly wouldn't mind it. Now let me explain to you why it is viable. Let's say Clementine meets somebody to help her. It's someone who has been through similar turmoil to her, where they were in a group/had a guardian who eventually died and left them in a cold unforgiving world alone. She could meet them if she's alone with the baby, if she's with Kenny, if she's in Wellington, etc.
Honestly it could happen. As long as they were a similar age to her. Now let me tell you, why and why it would be good (if done under these conditions) for Clementine as a character and offer a fresh relationship to the story. As well as this, when you really think about. What main characters around her age has Clementine met? She had a nice friendship with Doug however this was before she became the survivor she is today and there is little to no chance she would ever have a relationship with someone who was like Duck. Just a kid who just did what kids tend to do. Play, draw, things like that. It'd be too horrible as Clementine would constantly be reminded of Duck and I think she'd be annoyed or just not able to really see herself being too attached to this type of person.
Then there was Sarah who was slightly older however she was nothing like Duck but also nothing like a survivor. The relationship between them is different depending on how you play. Clementine could form a friendship with Sarah, be neutral about the matter, try and look after her, be harsh to her, try and make her a survivor, etc.
But Clementine meeting a male whose the same age as her and not even being a forced relationship would be beneficial. It'd make players choose if they want to risk being with another person and "loving them" (It's not a serious relationship, it's similar to the comic-book version of Carl and Sophia at best - Perhaps one choice where you can optionally kiss them but NOTHING serious at all). After all it could be good as Clementine is a survivor, and it could put players in the mental-trap Clementine may face. Should I become attached to this person, even if they may die and end up with me being hurt just like every other time? Plus we haven't seen that many young boys in the game that are Clementines age who are a bad-ass survivor like her.
So overall I feel like Clementine having a romantic interest which is optional, and around her age would be good for the game and for her character development. As we could see how Clementine interacts during/due to romance, and if she will even put up with it in a cold unforgiving world or if her humanity is too far gone.

Yeah unless if she's older then Hell Fuckin Know for me
Well even if she's older, so say 13. I would expect the romantic interest to be 13 as well. It just has to be the same age.
Yeah I would be okay with 13 long as it's not sex at 13
I agree!
I shipped Clem and Duck, but... You know.
So uh... Clem and Gill? lol
Oh god...
Meh, I must admit that it's nice that there aren't some 'forced' romance in TWDG; if anything it should be completely optional like a relationship that will only develop if you choose all the right responses.
Also, it would have to be quite a bit later in her life, I'm not sure many would be comfortable with it, even in her teenage years.
I also bet a few people would like to have a choice in her sexuality in case we do play on with her in seasons 3, 4, 5 or how many there will be.
Yeah they wouldent do that obviously the most i would expect at that age is either kisses hugs you know that stuff
If there was, I'd like there to be a choice on how to develop a relationship with. That would be cool.
If Gill or any other boy tries to make a move on my Clementine.

I'm just kidding. I just thought this would be funny.
Those are some really nice screenshots I've never seen before
Clem + gill = chill
Let's say Clem is brought back in Season 3 at the appropriate age to have a love interest. I honestly don't know how I would feel about it. We've played this series and watched her develop from a child to a tween to a maybe, teen/adult. Seeing her in a 'romantic' situation may make me feel uncomfortable, kinda like voyeurism because we've known her charater from such a young age.
It's kinda of like with my younger siblings, i've watched them grow and one day they will start dating have sex, but I don't wanna know about it
As long as its not forced and they are around the same age. Imagine for people who got the Jane ending the game opens with a 20 year old Clem getting it down with gill... Lol everyone would flip their shit.
If there´s a romantic interest, I hope we have an option to accept or decline. My Clementine won´t be near a man till she´s 50!
waving crane around like an old man
We'll have a choice for that to happen or not. I'm sure of it
Jesus if I were a girl I wouldn't want you to be my dad ahahah.
I...I´m not that bad...

Not a bad idea, it would probably keep Season 3 from feeling repetitive and actually trying something new for a change.
So to every boyfriend your Clem had you would give them this stare?
N-no, what makes you think that...?
I don't want it at all, but it would be interesting if it was set up like in then TLOU where they just show that interested in each other or like they really care about each other a lot. I mean it would have to be awkward, kinda, since they didn't grow up with that kind of.... thought?, knowledge on the love subject?. but I wouldn't want it. maybe if it was like beth in the show, she has a boyfriend and then dies..
So fast it´d make Sonic ashamed...
cough I mean, what an awful way to treat "family", right...hahaha...haha...cough
Lol, not nowadays.
Eh, why not. He (or she, you never know) would definitely have to earn it, though. Take a bullet or two for her first. Then we'll talk.
Well i dont expect them to do more then that at that age i mean seriously still got have your human manners and such in a apocalypse and know you know that getting preggers in too risky in a zombie apocalypse most of the time and such
huh, i actually REALLY like the idea of Clementine and a male character in her age(Gil is kinda obligatory) having a (comics)carl-and-sophia like relationship.
Clementine having a romantic interest could be an nice concept if Telltale does it right. Although, if any boy tries to pull anything on my Clem I will make sure they meet the same fate as Troy.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
GILL DOESN'T EXIST! FUCK GILL! HE JUST WANTS TO EAT HER SOUL! JUST LOOK AT HIS FUCKING FACE!
LOOK AT IT!
When she is 14 (my age) and her partner (male or female I don't give a shit) and also 14 and is not an asshole then yea I don't mind
