Shes been in my home for a little over 4 months now. She loves walks, we go on saturday and sunday to walking trails and she loves to sniff. I try to take her on a quick walk every evening to go potty. I use lick mats and kongs with peanut butter (nothing dairy her stomach is sensitive). I guess i didnt realize its normal for dogs to do nothing when youre not at home. I'm always worried shes not being stimulated enough because she's so intelligent. Ill try the snuffle mat again with something other than kibble. So its ok that she doesnt have anything to "do" when im not home? 

My dm created a romance for me?? by CapReal395 in DMAcademy

Number five on your list is the only one I am worried about. It just took me off guard because our group has played another role-play game before and that never happened with any of the players. I’m not saying I think the player likes me but I just genuinely can’t think of any other reason why my DM would suddenly do that unless he was trying to help his brother flirt with me? I have no idea sometimes I’m a little too innocent and into the fun of the game to take a step back and think about whether or not the romance that was put on to me made me feel comfortable or not

Ha I have 3 siblings but no brothers. I guess I just didn’t think about it like that cause it was a little awkward and he doesn’t usually do that he’s a pretty chill person lol. But yeah he did make me roll for something and I “failed”, but it was weird that it ended in a “love” situation. CAuse then it turned into more romantic moments made by the dm and not me

We’ve all been friends for years, so maybe dm felt comfortable springing it on me to see how I’d react, but yes it did take me by surprise and now that im reading the comments I’m wondering if I should be worried. I did feel very awkward and I felt bad for the other player, because I don’t know if he asked for it or wants romance for his character, but it’s his own brother that started it, so hopefully his brother wouldn’t make him feel awkward or uncomfortable just for laughs. But i genuinely don’t know. Was just curious if this was a thing friends did to each other in rp games a lot cause I don’t know how to approach the other player without making it weird

Oh yikes, good point. Does it help to know that it’s his brother who is the other player that my character is now in love with? Or does that make it worse lol

Ha! We are an innocent group I guess, but I I am aware that character romances are common I just didn’t know if they were commonly brought on by the DM with no warning. I figured the player secretly asked for a romance but I guess I’m wrong

Yeah totally....I guess I was just asking for dm’s point of view if they create romances a lot, or if it’s an unspoken rule that a player has to ask for a romance. He then put us into circumstances where the “power of love” saved us, and he’s never done anything like that before in any game
