Understanding Updated Relationship Mechanic.

Hey, all.

I haven’t played much since May. With Cahaya released, I wanted to get back in with a fresh save.

My issue is a relationship I’m getting together.

Initially, one partner was set identified as non-binary and attracted to men and women. Other partner was set identified as woman and attracted to women and NB. Their relationship is mutual crush and the progress bar is at 50%. I wanted to move up the relationship from mutual crush to the next level. But each attempt, they declined each other. Despite going on a successful date event.

Then, I set both of them as identified as women and attracted women. Same attempt as before and nothing.

Am I suppose to get their moods into Aflutter or something? Am I doing something wrong? Help me understand.
