So Iike everyone else I am stuck at home for the next two weeks (at minimum) and I am looking to keep busy with roleplays. As such I have been hitting the interest checks a lot more aggressively than usual and I have noticed a lot of people that have "doubling" in their requests. Now from context, I know that it is specifically romantic doubling. Usually something to the tune of - I will play your crush if you play my crush for me.
Now my question is this: For people who do romantic pairings do you actually want to play your partner's crush? Like is part of the fun having two parallel romances going on at once? Or are you looking for more of a transactional situation? Sort of I scratch your back and you scratch my back kind of thing. In that case are you okay with your partner just playing your love interest and not playing a character for them in return?
Ex. Instead of Susie plays a male for Jan. So Jan has to play a male for Susie. It would be Susie plays a male for Jan. And Jan can choose whether she wants to play a second character or not.
As the second is usually the situation I propose to people who want to double. But this seems to throw people off so I was wondering if it was just because I was misunderstanding the question OR are they worried that I'm going to get resentful later that I'm playing their love interest and they aren't playing mine?
