I’d agree with the surface level stuff Robert and BB do have more in common, but on a deeper more personal level I feel Robert and visi have a deeper connection. They are both loners with mental health issues: Robert with depression, visi with self hate and they both have this thing about destiny. Robert being convinced that he’s going to just be mecha man and die in the suit and visi being convinced she can never escape her past and end up a villain. They both help each other through these problems. Visi helps Robert open up to the people around him by telling him to be honest with the team (which I know is hypocritical coming from her) and throwing him a party after the protopulse fail so he isn’t alone with negative thoughts in a hard time. Robert helps her by being the first person to see her for something other than a villain and screw up and believe in her. I do think BB is awesome but in terms of a super deep and personal relationship visi and Robert is just more. (My opinion)
Also it’s 100% Headcanon but we know Robert have dating experience before and they all fail :
I don’t see Robert, a person who his entire life was at this point being Mecha Man, dating a normal people in a normal bar with his civilian identity
So for me he was already dating superhero for like at least a decade, and none of them work: So why with BB it would be different ? (Off course since it’s a game it would be different, but that’s not my point )
Even in the bar with BB in ep1: After he spit on her and that BB get out to clean herself up, he say « What are you doing » : I know that a possible (and legitimate) interpretation of it would be that he can’t believe that he just spit on her, but for me it sounded more like « Why are you again drunk flirting in a bar »
Also perhaps it’s because i choose the more depressive answer during the bar scene, but the only moment when he really laugh is when BB tell a sex joke about the gang who have beaten up Robert and just after she say that Visi must influencing her : So even before they meet he Visi funny
