The thing about romance/sex - and this applies to any gender by the way.
If you have a relationship between two people that is a friendship. The question is, inevitably, why are these people friends?
Maybe they have the same ideals.
They like who they are on the inside. They see fundamental goodness in each other.
Their personalities are compatible, they get along, which in itself all carries alot of subtext.
They go through alot together and/or develop together.
etc.
But then if you make it romantic, then lust for each other's bodies becomes part of the equation.
So one is left asking, at least I am, just how much of the equation is it? Would things have went down the same way if there wasn't sexual feelings in the air? How much does having a hidden agenda change the morality of the character. It seems as if the non sexual things I listed above becomes more incidental to whether they would have been close or not. It's loses power when hormones becomes part of the reason or interpreted as the underlying reason they're drawn to each other. Do close feelings cause the romance or does the romance cause the close feelings?
