Many of the comments here are really disturbing. People are expressing that the way romances are being handled is causing anxiety, discomfort, distress, etc. And people come along saying stuff like, "I don't see what the problem is" (cool, the game caters to you then all fine. You don't have anything to offer this conversation and you're being dismissive and essentially trying to tell people to shut up and deal with it) or "I want even more sex and promiscuity than there is already" (people are expressing discomfort and anxiety over being sexually harassed in what should be a fun game and you're saying you want more?!).

This is not just being "overly insistent", this is sexual harassment, plain and simple. Saying these characters are "overly insistent" wildly downplays and minimises what is actually going on. I've already had to deal with being sexually abused, coerced into sex (aka raped) and sexually harassed in real life. As have many, many other women. We shouldn't have to deal with this disgusting behaviour in a game we just want to enjoy.
I agree that some of this is indeed caused by bugs. But it also looks like a lot of this is caused by the simple fact that there is little in the way of pursuing FRIENDSHIP or even just neutral mercenary type relationships ("I don't like you and have no interest in being friends but I like the way you work and want to work alongside you - I've got your back if you've got mine").
