I could see a couple reasons why that could happen? Not sure if they are the actual answer or something else, but, I feel it could've been possible that...
- They were developing some level of OOC attraction, and were upset to find that the gender of the player didn't match the gender of the character?
- There's some manner of personal belief that playing the opposite gender is bad, perhaps due to known situations of males playing up female characters to get attention and items?
- Perhaps they just aren't quite able to separate the player and character, and the idea of romancing (or doing other things) with a player of the same gender squicks them out a little?
Those are possible explanations that just readily pop to mind, of course.
