[QUOTE="Imaculata, post: 7751777, member: 6801286"] My group prefers not to have PC's get romantically involved with other PC's, because that would get a bit awkward. But as a DM I do provide love interests for them, in service of the story. Love interests can be great for moments of levity in between the action and violence. They are also a tool for me as a DM to relay information and plot hooks to them. I also abuse the hell out of them to set traps for my players. For example, I had an npc love interest who wanted to bury the bones of her deceased father (a ruthless pirate captain), after they were found in his pirate lair.
