Either way, success or failure comes down to the individuals behind the characters, and not whether it was pre-planned or not.
Definitely player-related. A couple of my failed IC relationships were not because of the other person's character, or mine, but because of the other person OOCly. I understand being busy, but if you have enough time to send messages elsewhere or be online in a public setting so I know you are online (I don't stalk xD), then surely you can spare two minutes? So for the most part, it has been OOCly nonsense from the other person (way more detailed than that but I won't go into it) that causes the IC relationships to fail.
The pre-planned thing failed because the characters didn't develop together before they were PUT together. It just didn't work - it wasn't ever going to since it wasn't a 'pre arranged marriage RP', like someone mentioned before. That is a good way that a pre-arranged thing might work, but where characters are supposed to have known each other for a period before the RPing even started, that's more complicated and less likely to succeed.
