Actually, in Birds of Prey #19 (page 16), Jason says they used to be engaged, and indicates he thinks Barbara broke it off after she got shot and paralyzed (which he was only just now finding out happened). I thought it was probably a retcon because I've seen nothing of them being engaged back in Pre-Crisis days, but I've not read Batgirl in that actual timeframe. It also made absolutely no sense to me that the shooting of the commissioner's daughter by the Joker wouldn't be on the news and not a single mutual acquaintance would mention Barbara getting shot to Jason.
