I'm having a really similar option happen to me! Everytime I try to continue the story it always just skips to, "Fuck this, I'm calling the cops," and I can't progress...
You have to pick the choices that they would agree with and avoid saying things that would frustrate them! It's different for every character so you have to take a different approach with each of them based on what they like ^^ is there any particular part you are having an issue with? Have you checked your MCs sexuality matches the LIs gender?
