I just love how every character in this WIP is gay/lesbian.

Ehh, i donât think itâs every character? The ROs can be, sure, depending how you set up their gender, but thatâs just small part of the cast.

Well Sam and G are bisexual I guess. Other ROs are gay/lesbian though.
I personally donât like romancing team members with whom you also compete , the competition complicates the relationship more , also I am straight (so donât feel comfortable playing with same gender relationships, no offense meant). I mostly go for Sam and G.

Wonât Sam and G depend on what gender you set for them? Tobin is always bisexual (MC is their first same-gender relationship) And then thereâs Felix who i guess is always technically straight, given theyâre on the opposing gender team to MC.

People arenât straight or gay until proven bisexual, so unless/until itâs addressed in the actual IF (I havenât ever made Sam the same gender as my MC, so I donât know), I personally just assume Sam and G are bi, since you donât see that all too much in games with a romance element. Essentially, I guess itâs just up to the player for now.

People certainly can be straight or gay without being proven (not) bisexual, so thatâs an odd argument to make. In terms of making presumptions, iâd say it makes more sense to presume opposite-gender RO to be straight (simply based on percentages) but yes, the player can presume their bisexuality. It just should be remembered that whatever they decide (straight/bi/gay) is just personal presumption/headcanon at this point.

My statement was made in the context of bisexual people facing more challenges to the legitimacy of their sexuality depending on the types of relationships a bi person has had or is currently in; of course we are only assuming someoneâs sexuality (het/bi/gay/otherwise) until they themselves decide to share that, and thatâs often not relevant outside of our more personal relationships.
Distilled, maybe my point is simply that appearances are not the beginning and end of someoneâs perceived sexuality.
As far as the characters in this romance game are concerned, as long as there in nothing in the text explicitly declaring them any particular sexuality, Sam and G are functionally player-sexual because they will always be interested in the MC and it remains open to player interpretation. If you choose to call that interpretation âheadcanoningâ thatâs fine, though I wouldnât choose that language - but I donât think weâre in disagreement on the larger point that these characters identities are, in fact, not set in stone.

Iâm curious though. If Sam is female they can still play double match with a male mc in the flashbacks in highschool competition. But why is the majority of our teammates male in college? Could it be the college has different rules than the high school they come from? I feel like this is a plot hole the author forgot or I could be wrong.

Maybe their High School doesnât split the boys and girls teams, at least for tennis?

Itâs just how tennis works. Opposite gender MC & Sam were playing âmixed doublesâ which is specifically for mixed gender pairs for double matches (two men, two women) in tennis. You sign up for that separately. They were definitely on separate gender teams, men and women donât tend to âofficiallyâ compete against or with each other outside of mixed matches.

While my mc and Sam have kissed now I was hoping for the permanent lock-in option to also be possible in California, since the Cargill kiss came quite suddenly for my oblivious mc and I think he needs some time to think and reflect before deciding that, yes, he wants to commit to Sammy even if it means long-distance relationship troubles. 
Loved the jukebox scene, so incredibly cheesy, which is perfect for Sammy. Also noted how much of a lightweight Sam is when it comes to alcohol, which is funny in a way.

Not sure if it was mentioned, but can nicknames change? Or are they, once accepted, set in stone (or code, rather)?

Iâm pretty sure they can change. If you choose a later one, it should overide the first.
