...I wrote a huge post about romantic RP and realized that it boiled down to one really simple concept.
Communication between the players is key. Make sure you understand what the other person's looking for ICly, OOCly, and even ERPly if it looks like you're going there. Set your limits, understand their limits, and make sure to respect ALL the limits. Because getting your limits pushed with this sort of thing usually isn't fun. But if you make sure to set those boundaries and respect them, then you have a safe way of rediscovering that thrill that comes with any new relationship. And not incidentally giving the chance for some good IC drama when that pull of Odin gets botched and everyone goes down...
That being said, the only other practical advice is if you don't want to be disturbed, keep it to party chat. If you're getting hot and heavy, DEFINITELY keep it to party chat. Nothing spoils the flow of that tender romantic moment like BigJoe Whatsisname coming by and being all, "HURR Y U ALL NEKKID"...
