Have you ever seen this?
I was playing the Roman boys at college today. I've been on a roll lately, partly because I have some plot ideas, and you know how it is: you want to get some of them going before they go cold. Worthing is Romance, and he has two bolts with the blond dormie who is Orikes' Lisa Trottier and Marina's Steia and De's--I forget? (To me, of course, she's Cute Blond Chick #2. Shallow characterizations: don't knock them till you've tried them.)
I figured that since they were getting along and all bolty that I could try for a First Kiss for Worthing with her. WRONG. He was shot down, and I haven't seen that animation in forever. If ever. He was seriously bummed. He didn't quite tank into Red Aspiration, but he was getting close. I had him ask her on a date, and that worked ok.
Would you believe it, she shot him down two more times? Maybe three. She had "Kiss Worthing" and "Make Out With Worthing" in her want panel, but she wouldn't accept that first kiss.
I'm re-reading Pseudo, and let's put it this way: right now, she isn't my favorite Sim. I briefly considered saying "I'm sorry, chica, but now you must die." But I held off for a little while. I had Worthing end the date, and by then, the date meter was high enough that she kissed him goodbye (which took care of the First Kiss thing, only by then he didn't care. ) Then I had him ask her on a second date, and all of a sudden he could do Romantic Kiss, Make Out, just about everything.
I'm guessing that somehow, when the First Kiss failed, something became stuck? Brilliant deduction, I know, but it's the only thing I can think of.

I love it when that happens. The best ideas always come at the strangest times for me. I finally bought a notebook, though the pages may have only one or two little cryptic notes on them, most times not even written on the lines.
As for the issue with Worthing, I dunno. I've only run into that when the relationship wasn't high enough on the recipient's end. Stuck might also be a good of a guess as any.
Glad to hear that your getting better :) And, I'm really looking forward to seeing all of your ideas come to light!

And yay for plot ideas! I love it when they strike randomly like that.

And BOO HISS for Blonde Stabby Death Nose Dormie! She's not a personal favorite of mine for irritating one of my Loch Loki Sims, so I am unsurprised by her actions.
