This! I'm not meaning to put down how anyone else chooses to role-play. But rather... feeling refreshed to see others aren't doing just that by looking at you funny if you're dating someone and your character is dating someone else.
I can understand. Personally, I've never really found the opportunity to attempt romance RP with someone I happened to meet. I'd like to think I'm open minded about it. I'm friends with a few people who do as you prefer by allowing things to happen beyond the scope of their RL relationship. I always tell them kudos, because I know it's a very foreign concept to a lot of people, and they get hammered by those who don't understand and want to lord their own personal...morals? onto them because they choose to do something different.
I apologize for allowing the topic to deviate from its original intent. My last post was likely a bit of a knee-jerk reaction, finding myself in perhaps a similar situation to those who are questioned for their preference to romance someone other than their SO, and momentarily wondering why my preference seemed so strange as well.
