The problem is that television and standard story telling conventions pretty much point to Makorra, despite what one would hope (I personally don't care too much). Unfortunately, Bolin's feelings towards Korra are irrelevant; Korra's feelings are what matter in regards to the story. She's the main character of the story, and as such, who she likes is who she's ultimately going to get. She has already shown virtually no interest in Bolin by this point, and while Bolin likely will score a date with her, it will be short lived because she is likely still going to be hung up on Mako. And its really only a matter of time before Mako begins to reciprocate, its just how these sorts of stories play out.

This might be different if this were a day time soap opera, but its a saturday morning cartoon show. The writers are not going to add crazy romance twists into this sort of story since it could taint our poor little childrens minds with the "horrible" idea that maybe love isn't easy. So, in the end, Korra will get her man, because the soccer moms of America would start having a hissy fit if the main female character didn't get her first love.
