Honestly, I've had more problems with real life couples ignoring everyone else in favor of their partner's character(s) than players of IC couples doing that. It's possible that someone who is so into the romantic RP that they focus only on it and nothing else is blurring the IC/OOC lines a little, too.
Personally I am a sucker for romance. I like writing it and reading it and roleplaying it, provided it's developed in-character (whether or not it's planned in advance) and doesn't eventually devolve into just plain puppy love antics (not that they're bad - I just get reeeeally awkward when it's lovey-dovey 24/7). I don't particularly care for the... physical specifics, so I'm more of a fan of fade-to-black and brief, generic descriptions of displays of affection. I mostly just really like to explore what love does to characters on a psychological/emotional level. I keep even the most cynical of my characters open to love because it's really fascinating to me.
