But I believe that if he had to choose the most "suitable bachelor" for his daughter, Hook would be the last one on his list. But we're talking from a small puddle of known characters here. We have a dead huntsman, a pirate, and there is the Dark One's son. That beings said, Charming might've have had a say when if she was raised with her parents but again she wasn't. So really that is really irrelavent. Of who Charming wants is completely unknown, not to mention that Emma has grown up in a enviroment where arranged mariages are more extinct than the Dodo bird.

While Charming see's Hook as a villian he also hates his guts for one other reason. Hook's alliagence can change to very moment that they step off from his ship, when they get back to Storybrooke. But if Shakespeare has taught me anything the bonds of brotherhood can be forged by a great battle. (Henry V)

''Fractured Fairytales: Exactly! Thank you Rafa! Everyone seems to forget that Neal wasn't a one night stand and Emma just happened to get knocked up by him. She was with him for a -very- long time before Emma got pregnant. They wouldn't be together simply because they have a child together - but because they have history BEFORE Henry.''

But there is still the whole issue of betrayel between Neal and Emma. Not to mention that Neal also has to work out the issues with his father. Forgiving himself for abandoning Emma, forgiving himself for listening to August, and probably walk a mile in his father's shoes. If the relationship, has any chance of being rekindled and being beneficial to all parties. He needs to stop runing away from them, hoping that they just go away. Instead he needs to confront all these issues and deal with them head on.

In some ways he is just as a coward as Rumplestilksin.
