To be fair, the whole, “I’ll come back to you even if you don’t promise to wait,” is a line pulled directly from OG FFVII. It’s mentioned late game by Cid (who hilariously went to see a showing of loveless in Midgar but fell asleep then woke up just in time to view this ending scene 😂). But if you wanna deep dive on the meaning of this line, it’s worth noting that a version of the line is used in FFVIII in reference to the main ship of that installment — Rinoa and Squall — who also happen to be another mage/swordsman pair. And if you wanna go big brain square enix energy, there’s also the famous, “I’ll come back to you; I promise…I know you will,” between Sora and Kairi in Kingdom Hearts when he goes off on another journey while she awaits his return. If you go down those rabbit holes, it seems square really has a type for their main pairs, no?
I don't remember that line in OG FF7, but it's been years since I played it so I'll take your word for it. But you're right that similar lines/sentiments pop up frequently in other FF and KH games, so yeah, Square has a type. I still think the conversation between Cloud and Aerith in KH2 is the quickest and easiest parallel to make here though, considering the same pair can have basically the same interaction, in an entirely different game. Yes, Cloud could also have this conversation in the play with T or Y. But only Aerith's would have the added depth of being a potential callback/reference to another moment the pair shared.
And considering this game liked to callback to several moments between Cloud and Aerith in the previous game (him remembering their first meeting being what snaps him out of Sephiroth's control, the "will you be okay getting back", "if I said I wasn't" in the ending...) I think it's totally reasonable to assume that Square might have subtly referenced at least one Clerith moment from outside the compilation.

Chakotay/Janeway/Tuvok is fun because none of them are ever actually dating. I literally can’t imagine any of those three referring to or thinking of the other two as their “girlfriend/boyfriend.” One of them is like ‘let’s not put a label on this’ the other is like ‘my race has no label for this’ and the third is like ‘if I try to put a label on this I bet they’re gonna run fast and far’ so they’re all kind of just in muddy water regarding what they are to one another. All that’s there for certain are actions and commitment and [un]luckily these are three people who know how to commit.

HEADCANON. I think, in Sam's mind? She'd be a very difficult person to love in a romantic sense.
With her mom and dad's relationship as a basis ( as well as everything that happened to her in the P5 verse ), she'd be incredibly guarded when it comes to the idea of dating someone. Serious, too. She wouldn't want to date someone who sees dating as just a fun past time ( like her father, who wound up flirting with other women even after his marriage ).
But I do imagine she'd hold some self-awareness regarding how she views relationships and dating in general. What kind of teenager thinks like her, anyways? Don't teens just date for fun and stuff? Isn't she being a little too much of a stiff, thinking like this?
That's why—-should anyone ask her if she could see herself dating in the future? She'd say no ( even if she wished it was the opposite ).
