While I'd be surprised if HollyxStan isn't eventually a path players can go down - as they can connect over fantasy books and other nerdtastic things the one time so far they've had a conversation, and because both are high in the character polls - it would be a rather difficult needle to thread by the player. Holly would have to not date Ian and get over him, but also not date Lena and get over her, but also not be groomed by Ivy. As it stands now, that can (I think?) technically be done, but I can't imagine even one player in fifty would want to go that route. Even players who don't like Holly aren't, I would guess, going to carefully navigate things so she ends up with Stan, they'll just have Ian and Lena ignore her whenever possible.
Personally I'd think any of those other paths would be a better result for Holly in the long run, even if Ivy has her get some "practice" with Robert, because it's clear Ivy means it to be temporary. I've posted this before, but I like the joke enough to say it again - and frankly I don't think it's entirely outside the realm of possibility either. I want to see the awkward sex with Robert and Holly, and then him being his usual whiny jerkface self afterwards - because it could lead to Holly going to Ivy and telling her how bad it was, and then we'd get to see Ivy instructing Holly in the ways of mercilessly dumping a boytoy. "And when he's starting to sob, and you can see a little teardrop forming in his eye, you bitchslap him across the face, like this!..."
