> [@FairyGodfeather](#): > > I think it was @Aly who said that the problem with love interests romancing each other, is that it might be seen as their ‘true romance’ or something, and it might discourage players from pursuing that person? (I can’t seem to find the exact quote.) Well, this **is** something I’m doing in my game, nevertheless. As I explained in [my non-WIP thread](https://forum.choiceofgames.com/t/gay-representation-in-choicescript-games/20429), I wanted to increase representation of non-straight relationships, but without making any of my characters non-MC-sexual. I guess this **might** make people wary of romancing them, which is a shame, as certain variations of their romances are quite… fun. (Also, they don’t show any interest in one another until **after** it’s too late to begin romancing them, **and** it begins with one of them asking the MC for relationship help…) I am thinking of having a potential RO confess, too (other than the one I described in my earlier comments 😅), but it’s almost certainly going to be an RO that the player has no interest in, and thus the confession will only result in much embarrassment. 😁 (It should be clear by now that my WIP is an exercise in causing people misery.) --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.choiceofgames.com/t/how-active-should-ros-be-in-romance-subplots/20496)._
