Flirting can be a weird societal thing. As a gay guy I have been very very dense to flirtations from women, only realizing much later. It isn't something that I enjoy encountering but I always saw it as a mild or funny thing afterwards when I finally realize what happened. I feel the same when a female character flirts with me in a game cause I am clearly not going to pursue a romance with them, though with how direct most games are I find it actually clearer that I am being flirted with and thus I know to shut that down. Likely, I'd expect a straight guy that I did not know was straight to feel the same if I flirted with them (clearly this isn't going into completely unwanted advances cause then that'd be sexual harassment) and be willing to go "No, I am not interested." Overall, I am fine with the characters initiating flirty conversations BUT there should also be equal opportunities for the player to initiate on their own terms, the ability to outright say no and move on, and options to tailor it like having it that other characters wont flirt if you start flirting with one or a player can set their sexuality as an optional toggle thing maybe (though I feel that last one would stir up people somehow, also I dunno if they plan at all for uh unique groupings with poly relationships or something).
