You must love INSERTNAMEHERE!

I suppose this might be YMMV, but I generally don't like when just after my character has fallen out with another character the other player has a friend/family member/guardian angel run up to my character and starts convincing them that the other character is a lovely person and they should be patient with him/her ( Read more... )

you might be a bad roleplayer if, doing it wrong, but daddy i wanted a pony

Well, of course there will always be attempts to fix broken relationships, so getting approached by, for example, their mother shouldn't be that unexpected or failworthy.

However, if they're sending their mother, father, all four siblings, grandparents, cousins, uncles, aunts, best friends, colleagues, bosses, old college roommates, and that guy that went with him to Germany that one time after your character, then... yeah. That's desperate.

Hell... it's happened to me in real life, not just game.

There is a difference though if your character and the others has been dating either one day, or one year. If the time has been on the shorter side, and they have people coming out of the woodwork trying to convince you that the two characters should be together... yeah... annoying. If it's that the two characters have been dating for a bit longer, I think it's only human reaction to try and bring those two characters back together (even if it doesn't).

Four days is so not long enough to try and sick one's friends on someone to try and convince that 'but he's loved you for years! blah blah blah' that's just creepy...

... whoops, going back into personal experience.

Yeah I've had that happen to me before.. Multiple times and the stupid thing is.. I kept falling for it. Had one character that aparently was good looking enough for some people to only want erps but not the romance.

When I say I want the romance, they have characters that will try and date him over a span of three to four days and profes sthier love for them. Eventually I would give in because I worried that they would lose interest and then I would lose my plot. Big freaking mistake there.

Thier characters would mysteriously vanish the day or week after under the guise of "They lost tthier muse." Then I had to flounder around and see what I could possibly do with my character. Should I play him as still dating until they got thier muse back? Should my character move on? Should he mope around about being ditched so suddenly?

I just wanted a gradual progression of a relationship! Is that too much to ask for!?
