First it was Daniel, then Robin... but they both died. So who exactly is the one for Regina?

It was Robin, according to the Pixie Dust
Well yah. But who is she gonna end up with? Maybe there's no one.
True love isn't a sole romantic feature. True love is something you share with someone that you are willing to sacrifice for.
Henry is currently the only living person that Regina truly loves. This, Henry is Regina's true love.
You don't need to in a relationship to be happy and eventually your significant other may pass away. Doesn't mean you love them any less and doesn't mean that it's time for you to get up and get out to find a new partner. Sometimes, that's not for everyone.
Therefore, maybe there's no one.
I agree with all the things you said about love. I just somehow want her to find her romantic happy ending. I thought that was Robin. Maybe they'll give it a twist and he turns out to be alive.
Agree with Henry being her true love, he's her only consistent love throughout the entire show!
In terms of romance, I would have to say Robin, only because Regina was a different person when she fell in love with Daniel.
The problem now, (with what's happening in season 7), is that Henry is all grown up now, and has a family of his own. Once everyone gets their memories back, (which hopefully we won't have to wait the entire season for), I don't think Henry is going to go back to living with Regina. So she is kind of alone now. Which sucks, because now that "happy beginning" she got at the end of season 6 is gone.
I'm not sure where they are planning on taking Regina's story with this new direction the show is taking now, but it seems really unfair of them to take away her happy ending. No matter how much Regina and Henry reconnect once they get their memories back, from this point forward their relationship won't be the same as what it was when Henry was still a kid and living with Regina. And when Regina does get her memories back and realize she has missed out on 10+ years of Henry's life it's going to be an even bigger shock/adjustment for her. Henry now has Cinderella and Lucy to worry about. So where does that leave Regina? How can she not feel lonely when everyone except for her has someone?
It especially makes my blood boil to think that Regina's happy ending could be taken away after everything she did to change and to make up for her past. I really hate how unfairly the writers of this show treat Regina. Yes, she has done unspeakable things in the past, but she's more than made up for that past. And she really has changed. Unlike Rumple, who was ready to kill them all right up to the season 6 finale just so that he could get what he wanted. If there's one character on the show that does not deserve a happy ending it's Rumple. And I'm surprised that Belle decided to stick by him in the end, after everything Rumple put her through. Rumple and Belle's relationship is truly toxic. It reminds me of the abusive relationship between The Joker and Harley Quinn.
Anyway, there is, however, another major problem. Regina and Robin Hood were so perfect together that there is no way I can see them ever finding a better match for Regina than Robin Hood. In my honest opinion they really painted themselves into a corner by killing off Robin Hood. Unless they find some really creative way of bringing him back that doesn't break the laws of magic. And it seems that, for us Regina+Robin fans, A&E are trying to rub salt in the wound left by Robin's death. Just look at what they're doing. Regina (Roni) owns a bar? (If you recal Robin owned a tavern.) And if you look at the sign of Roni's bar the logo has two arrows on it. What the hell A&E? Are you trying to taunt us? As Hook would say, that is just bad form, mate.
And if that wasn't enough A&E as well as Lana Parrilla herself have confirmed that (for now at least) Regina does not have a new love interest, mainly because her story is focussed on other things in season 7. This pretty much leaves Regina's happy ending up in the air, because while Hook has Emma to go home to and Rumple has Belle and Gideon, what is Regina going to do? Move in with Henry and Cinderella? Yeah, I don't think so.
All we can do at this point is hope that the show creators and writers do have a plan in place for Regina. Because it would really suck if she just ends up being alone.
I like to think that although Robin was her true love and now he has died, Regina's main story arc is her acceptance of herself and learning to love herself. I know that sounds corny, but she's been through a lot, she needs to love herself first. Add to that the grieving process after Robin, she might not have been ready to move on before the new curse/memory loss. Maybe she'll meet someone new, but that doesn't mean that they aren't also 'true love'. Perhaps a person can have more that one.
