I mean, there are some fairly explicit parallels between Elektra's feelings for Matt and Matt's feelings for Foggy - they both go hard on 'you are pure and good and deserve better'. And Elektra is much, much more direct about facing/dealing with her feelings than Matt.
(Will he stay with you if he knows the real you???? Matt keeps his senses secret for 10 years, tries to keep Foggy mostly in the dark even after he gets found out. Elektra demonstrates her murder bona fides within literal hours of getting the challenge.)
So what if Matt is angsting at her at some point about Foggy, and she's realizes the parallels, and instead of moping in the dark immediately goes to investigate this person? And Foggy is like, not a fan, okay, he has several different objections to her, but she's beautiful and charming and sharp (and Marci is his type, let's not forget) and also she doesn't lie to him. And she actually lets him know some of what Matt's world is like in a way Matt constantly refused to, which is a strong incentive to keep talking to/spending time with her. And while he's slowly getting, come on, kind of enamored, who could freaking blame him, she's seeing exactly what Matt sees in him - Foggy's kindness and his humility and his humor and his fierce stubbornness underneath. And she'd take him out for fancy wine and he'd actually appreciate it! He's not too catholic for nice things! And Foggy is honest with her, too - he doesn't like everything she does but he respects that she's trying to change without jerking her around with rapidly-retracted grand declarations like Matt kinda did, and he isn't trying to use her or stand in her way or make her choices for her - he's just very clear about where he stands..
And before they know it they're tipsy on champagne and sloppily making out on a balcony somewhere, while Matt skulks on the roof and cries manfully into the night, with the weirdest boner.
