It is weird how a game can effect so many things, like longing for romance in my case. I’ve been playing Mass Effect and just finished it. The story line is amazing and even though it is an RPG you can develop a romance with one of your crew. I love games, I love RPG’s and I love FPS but this game has a hold on me. I know there will be a Mass Effect soon and hopefully I can sort of pick up where we left off.
After finishing the game I googled the game and it turnes out that it is actually based on a book! I am quite curious and might end up buying this book. The second book is out since this summer as well! I am not sure if I want to read that one just yet as I first want to play the game, the book might give away to much which would be a pitty.
Obviously I picked a female character and developed a romace with Kaiden (one of my crew). The flirting and eventualy the getting together (no, you don’t see anything in the game and you dont have to, at least for me, it is about the romance). I just loved that going in circles with the characters and the flirting, and just realised, I miss that. Liam is not much of a romancer and he never will be, I just miss the exitment of flirting, seeing where you end up if you persue and everything with it. Kind off silly though that it takes a silly game to realise how much I actually miss it. I need to get out more, get some friends and maybe encourage Liam to be a bit more... romantic. I have to say, all the encouragement so far and even saying it blunt did not go well, infact, it didn’t lead to anything...

Ah, I didn't play it myself but I watched Hans (my fiance) play Mass Effect on the 360. It really WAS an excellent game - he was a male character (can't remember the name)and he got a romance too...
As time goes on in a relationship it changes from when you first meet - obviously! But I think that's one of the nicest things about being in love - just being comfortable enough with someone to be yourself. But there should still be some romance!
