I get the feeling that Bolin's habit of bringing 'crazed fangirls' to the pro-bending arena, he's actually attempting to play the match-maker for Mako. Mako is deadset focused on getting the jackpot prize at the end of the tournment. As Bolin puts it, he becomes intensely focused before going into a match and berates Hasook for being such a screw-up. Granted this is what any captain would do to a teammate that's lagging or dragging down the team. Using that example is flimsy at best.

The line that gives me this impression mainly is Bolin's appeal to Mako after he orders him to 'get [Korra] out of there'.

Bolin: Ah! Come on, Mako. Look, I kind of promised she would stay for the match, but I've got a really good feeling about this one. She's special!

Now here, I could be grasping at straws, but Mako almost seems tired, or resigned. He gives me the impression that he's thinking 'Here we go again'. Also, if Bolin really had any intention of becoming involved with Korra, why would he be so enthusiatic and quick to introduce Korra to Mako? And then, why would he be so quick to explain and cover Mako's dismissive behaviour?

Again, I could be grasping at straws, but to sum up. I think Bolin has been repeatedly trying to set up Mako with a girl, and luckily according to the lastest trailer/teaser, it works to a degree. Bolin may be actively trying to help Mako reach a point where he has something to look forward to after achieving his short-term goal of the Pro-bending price money.

That's my view. Flimsy, but take it or leave it.
