I started playing this furry dating game that's free on Steam. I met a few interesting people in the intro where you're out at a social space. I followed up with this very cute writer/poet boy and went to a bookstore with him to listen to an author speak, then surprised him with a signed copy of the author's newest book. His response was so adorable!
So then my character was back home and I got the feeling that I was supposed to do more stuff before the end of the day. I could call another of the people I met, but it made me anxious. Am I supposed to be pursuing someone else when I just started dating writer boy? Does this game expect you to have multiple ongoing relationships? Will the writer boy be upset? He's so sweet and geeky and excitable and hopeful and I don't want to make him sad.
I got anxious enough already just picking through dialog options on our date, and now I need to make decisions without knowing whether they're going to hurt the person I already connected with and really like? (Yes, I know these are all fictional constructs. But I don't want to hurt them!)
