If Hotaru were interested in Ranma, and he wound up interested in her, then they could set up some kind of relationship. In that way, several things could be dealt with all at once.
First off, it would give the young Senshi a chance to have a guy who wouldn't be frightened off by the wierdness in their lives, and the powers that she had. Hotaru could be treated as an attractive young girl who would be very nice to be with, which she was.
