Relationships
Alan Scott
Due to Paul taking Alan Scott's lantern, Alan sees Paul as his successor. Paul views Alan much like a grandfather and desires his approval.
Alan was one of the few people that Paul and Zatanna informed about the Nabu situation. Alan supplied them with all of the notes that were given to him by Kent Nelson.
Paul had been looking for a way to acquire a new lantern for Alan as once Alan's ring ran out of juice it would only be a matter of month's before he would die. Since he could not get a green lantern he instead commissioned a blue lantern to be made.
Wonder Woman
Wonder Woman became Paul's mentor at the behest of Alan Scott.
Jade Nguyen
After capturing Jade Nguyen and sending her to prison Paul worked to have her sentence reduced and reconnect her with her family.
Both Jade and Paul have expressed interest in each other but Paul's killing of Nabu, fallout with the Justice League, and desire to start the Orange Lantern Corp took precedence over starting a relationship.
Now that Paul has returned to Earth the chance of a romantic relationship beginning between the two is quite high.
