Anyway, since I didn't actually get the post out I wanted to before:
RP Relationships are difficult creatures, like regular relationships, but you don't even get the benefit of HAWT NEKKID LUVV after a fight.
XI, my character only had one particular attraction, to this mithra in my LS who was played by a guy. And, we were pretty good friends OOC, so it wasn't all that creepy or anything, even though I was 14 and prone to being a really misogynistic pancake. My character chased after his for the entirety of my time on XI, but both wasn't on her radar, was on her radar while she was with someone else, and was 'going down a dark path' a la Anakin and Padme style, before that movie actually came out.
Then, moving onto WoW, my character was meant to just be a casual comedic relief character, but he steadily got fleshed out into a serious character again, he jumped from monogamous relationship to monogamous relationship (Due to some rather bad friends) until he became the manwhore that he was that slept with basically every woman (IC) on the server, before meeting my now fiance's character and settling down to finally rest in piece since I'm letting him die.
Along with D&D, and WoD, my particular experience with RP Relationships is this:
They're great for character development, and plot... But, you just have to be careful, like with all things. All it takes is one psycho person who doesn't know the difference, or one person who completely does a 180 on you to mess up your character forever, and if you aren't willing to accept that, you shouldn't do it in the first place.
Put simply:
Be prepared if you do it.

I hunt for you,
Because there's no such thing as any of your nightmares.
Saturday's here-
A time to RP and make merry,
When Sunday Arrives,
A** kicking time you'll fear!
