Boy do I know that feeling. Since my first RP experience was with a bunch of guys old enough to be my fathers (in at least one case), my 17 year old self wisely decided to push that part of the game away with the proverbial 10 foot pole.

I've had plenty of characters end up in relationships after the RP is over, especially when I was playing the child of a former character in a Shadowrun campaign. But even then it was hardly a normal relationship.

I think for me it was hard because I was so busy struggling with my own self image, that I wasn't willing to risk things in front of others. Paint me oblivious, but I barely noticed that other people existed in college, let alone that they might have been interested.

Finally in this most recent campaign did I manage to have something resembling a normal relationship, though tellingly it ended up being between two female characters. Perhaps more appropriate to the whole self discovery thing, when I initially made the relationship overtures, the female character in question was pretending to be a man.

Err...long story.

I'm not sure if I had a point here, or if I was just babbling on about roleplaying.
