I mean I assume they're going to meet later in this season and there'll be some demonstration that they have superawesome chemistry and instant passion a la Snowing, except because of what happened in this episode it's always going to feel like "because pixie dust said so" and not "because they're compatible people," especially since Regina will see the tattoo and for the majority of their relationship, she's going to be thinking about how he's her pixie-dust-guaranteed perfect match. Tinker Bell's pixie dust is no different, than what Rumplestiltskin did with Snow White and Prince Charming. Tinker Bell's timing was just wrong.

Regina and Robin Hood will meet later this season, but sparks will not fly right off the bat. You seem to forget, that Regina is the woman who cast the Dark Curse.... which is what ruined everyone's lives. It is obviously going to take some time for Robin Hood to see past all that, and give her a chance. If anything, it will be Roland who sees the good in Regina first.

That said, Regina and Robin Hood are compatible. She is a strong, independent single mother. He has an edge and is not a pushover, while still being family oriented. Not to mention, their senses of humor will bounce well off each other.
