This game handles relationships a bit differently than what you're likely thinking of -- the status of relationship isn't a numerical value that just goes up/down, but a combination of flags you set with individual choices.

The choices marked with heart indicate you want the relationship with character in question to be of romantic nature. The lust icon indicates you're thinking with your other head and they invoke sex-related activities without any deeper feelings behind it.
thx for info! i think i m playing the free with mod.I mean i know turn on/off the back option.

Now that Holly goes deeper into the rabbit hole of being a slut (depending on your route, of course), do you think we are finally closer to the long awaited Marcel x Holly scene? I mean come on, I just started a new game and noticed how interested he was in Holly and her books when they first met. There's definitely something there. Come on EK, let's see Holly split in two by that BBC...

Even when Lena knows that Ian and Holly are in a serious relationship, she encourages Holly to get closer to Stan (I believe she tells her that she should text him on more than one occasion). Does anyone think that this is odd?

Not to me. She knows that they have similar interests so why shouldn't she try to have Stan socialize with more people and become friends since that's one of his character flaws.

When it's a member of the opposite sex who is single, it is very strange to encourage someone just to become their friend. You are fully aware of the risk of it becoming more than a casual friendship.
Why are you reading into it too much? It's really not that deep! It's just a friend helping the other friend to get more social. Not every encounter leads to a relationship.

Maybe it's just me but I found it rather odd and peculiar. It would be a nice twist if Holly got "too friendly" with Stan while she was dating Ian.

I'm aware of the belief that a man and a woman can never be friends, but that isn't applicable to every relationship. Especially if at least one of the two parties isn't interested. Stan and Holly geek it out, they can spend hours talking without considering a relationship.
Not that I disagree that Stan likely forms a crush pretty quickly on her. Then she will reject him, if she is taken.

Imagine choosing Stan over Ian.

If Lena suggested that Holly get friendly with Robert or Mike then I'm sure you would all think it was odd. The fact that you view Stan as a geek is what makes it seem normal I guess.

No those guys are different because Ivy suggests Lena introduce them to her so that she sleeps with them NOT as being friends with them.

That "member of the opposite sex" is Stan for crying out loud. You think there's any actual risk of a woman forming more than casual friendship with him? :whistle::coffee:

(player-driven Lena's potential insanity excluded)

The circumstances are entirely different.
Holly and Stan hit it up at the pub on their own without Lenas intervention (though she has to like Stan and invite him). So Lena has the option to further encourage Holly to socialize with him.
There is no common ground Holly has with Robert and Mike, Ivy setting her up with Mark and Lena with Robert is just a pretense for sex and more or less spellt out. Lena is clearly not telling Holly to hang out with Stan because of the great sex he provides.

I suppose the game has sunk in so porn driven that the idea of a normal friendship just became too alien.

I don't think Ian, when he's in a relationship with Holly, would be too happy if he knew that Lena was encouraging her to befriend Stan. In fact he has the option to "intervene" when he sees them chatting at the concert.

He also has the option to let them nerd out. I really don't think he'd be that insecure.

Not every person who talks to your partner hits on them and every partner with common decency won't cheat on you just because they interact with someone else. Overcontrolling much?

True, but I just found it to be weird. Never mind.

Oh god, the game lets you push Holly and Robert together? That's fucking sick.
