You're not rude at all. I write instalove, so the characters all pretty much have a crush on MC whether you're romancing them or not. That is why for some, I added the block romance just to make things easier for people who are not romancing them.
The "not into guy" is just a line I added because Lip was coming on too strong, it doesn't affect anything.
The stats are not fully implemented, so some will rise and some will don't.
Tara/Tariq will be sad no matter what. And if you choose them, it will be Danny who is sad.
Overall the story is a drama/comedy/romance and some reactions from the characters are added for dramatic effect.
