It depends on various factors including the table social contract and the player interaction. It's certainly less likely to be a problem if the players are already in a relationship (in my Princes of the Apocalypse game last Saturday, of the 8 players there were 3 couples, the son of one couple, and my son, so 6/8 were couples) but it won't necessarily be a problem even if they're not.Edit: Conversely it's not necesssarily not a problem if the GM has an NPC hit on a PC - it's much more common IME but depending on various factors that could come across as creepy too. Whereas I think a PC hitting on an NPC is much less likely to seem creepy, because of the power dynamic - in a normal TTRPG the GM has a lot more power than a player, and usually has much less identification with any NPC than the player has with their PC.</blockquote>
