Star Trek: Voyager's Doctor (Robert Picardo) was involved in a number of romances over the course of the show. As a hologram, the Doctor began Voyager as a blank slate of a character, with no past and seemingly no personality or interests. However, as the Doctor was allowed to grow into his humanity and began realizing when it meant to be alive, he quickly developed into a vibrant character and was often Voyager's main comedic relief, engaging in a variety of interests that helped him explore the delights of humanity.
One of the delights that the Doctor engaged in quite often was flirtation and even full-blown romance with various side characters in episodes. Beginning as early as Voyager season 1, the Doctor was given a number of romantic subplots that helped explore his growing humanity and capacity for a wider range of emotions, such as love. In total, the Doctor had 11 major romantic encounters during Voyager's run, ranging from minor flirtations to a tragic, unrequited love story with another main character on the show.
