While he showed great affection for Dr. Watson, he had only one love. Irene Adler earned his respect and admiration. He always referred to her as 'the woman.'

"It was not that he felt any emotion akin to love for Irene Adler. All emotions, and that one particularly, were abhorrent to his cold, precise, but admirably balanced mind. He was, I take it, the most perfect reasoning and observing machine that the world has seen: but, as a lover, he would have placed himself in a false position." -- John Watson, 'A Scandal In Bohemia'
