I'm not sure how to take the whole John's love life thing.
I presumed he slept with Chaya (Sanctuary) and Teer (Epiphany). I haven't seen the Tower, but I understand that there's an epilogue in which he tells Elizabeth he didn't sleep with Mara.
Larrin seems more of an obvious challenge - sexy alien chick who has an adversarial relationship with John. I think that most of the enjoyment out of that relationship (their enjoyment, not the audience's) is in the pursuit, chase, and challenge, not in the actual relationship.
Teyla, however, I see more as John's touchstone, someone with whom he shares more of the facets of who he is than he does with other women, and who he trusts emotionally (something that he doesn't really do with any other guys except Ronon). And that can easily move into the 'love' scenario for me.
I had some thoughts on how Teyla sees her relationship with John, but they're eluding me right now... I filed them somewhere in the back of my memory and I can't easily recall them.
