Is FiveM really just a dating game — or is that an oversimplification of how people use roleplay spaces?
In this episode of Are Your Eyes On, we unpack romance and ERP in RP communities: where expectations clash, where boundaries blur, and why relationship roleplay can feel fun, frustrating, or emotionally complicated depending on how you engage with it.
We talk openly about different RP relationship styles — from strictly in-character storytelling to players who welcome real-life connections — and why mismatched expectations often cause tension, discomfort, or burnout in casual and semi-serious cities.
This conversation isn’t about shaming how people play. It’s about honesty, communication, and understanding that not everyone comes into RP for the same reasons.
Whether you love relationship RP, avoid it entirely, or feel caught somewhere in the middle, this episode creates space for a more grounded, nuanced conversation about romance in roleplay.
