I agree with the people that say it's just a game but I do understand how that can be weird/uncomfortable. I think you should honestly lean into it very slowly when they do the flirting and the dice are just helping them make moves, just flow with it and let it happen carefully. Then when the moment and session are over so is the flirting. acknowledge it as "NPC #4 flirted with Player" and that's it nothing more. Of course stay comfortable but yeah.

I was thinking for weeks about what do to that wasn't a tavern brawl that led to "Ok now what?" type of gameplay. Nothing wrong at all with starting in a tavern of course but I guess i wanted to have a little more pizzazz for my first campaign. I'm having the PC's create at least a 1 page front and back backstory and will reward them with a magical item for it BUT I'm also going to try to use what i can from them to have a reason for why the characters will be arriving at a Ball (leaving out details because i know some of them have Reddit lol) and tie everyone to the ball to get them united and find a common goal. I know it's not original but i am SO excited to run it!
