For me, I'm not going to enter an IC relationship unless I've spent some time talking OOC with the person behind the character and know things aren't going to get weird. I'm in a happy long term relationship and have only had 2 IC relationships.in games. Neither one was super hot and heavy, but more cute and fun, which I find much more enjoyable.
I'll take light hearted, friends become awkward and flirty and fool around but still have adventures and other fun hijinks any day over heavy romance.
