I just had to turn down a prancing Wyll. I tried to let him down easy, but he wasn't getting the hint.

Is this what it's like to be a woman? Dudes come prancing up to you out of nowhere like it's their best move, then get bitchy when you don't drop your pants for a two step?

I know I risk summoning the worst of the Internet with this question. I'm still curious if anyone's experienced similar in the game. Maybe I'm way off thinking there's some empathy lessons in here. It's obviously not the message of the game, but maybe one of the messages.

I'd be totally down for a toggle. A mod is fine too, if there's one, gimme!

I just find romances entirely uninteresting. I just want to be friendly and not upset companions because the whole thing wasn't mutual. And pissing them off because I "have to" turn them down kills me a bit.

I guess turning someone down is a bummer for them, but man would I like to sidestep the whole issue without needing to be shitty towards them to keep the romance-meter from filling up by just being friendly.
