I've never liked how a character 'getting a life' always equals getting a love life. Honestly, I dont see Hotch opening up to a stranger when there are members of his team he's known at least a decade, been in the trenches with, and is still closed off and evasive with. He was with Haley for nearly 25 years. She divorced him because he couldnt put anything but work first and then she was murdered because of what he does. This man needs therapy, not a date.
I want to see Hotch smile more, be human, but I want to see that with Jack and the people who have cared about him for years and not some new chick out of the blue. I want to see more team/family moments.
I'm also on the bandwagon of where is he going to find the time to date and start a relationship that would be realistic, even by TV standards. He'd need the ability to clone himself and a year supply of Adderall.
Having said that, the idea of Hotch contemplating moving on, actually meeting someone and dealing with maybe dating a little or making friends outside of the FBI, I can live with that. It all comes down to how its written and played. But I would rather see Hotch open up to the people who love him and not someone he's never met before (though for him that might be easier because there's less judgment).
