Heartbreaker LTW question
MasterDinadan:
I'd be okay with the fact that you can only have one significant other at a time, but what I don't like is that you have to manually break up with the first before you can ask out another. You should just be able to ask out another and the first automatically disappears. Yes, the first SO would learn psychically that a break-up had happen (perhaps talk about the town) but then at least you don't have to go through the trouble of inviting them over just so you can dump them. All the while your new SO is waiting patiently for you to flirt her back up to romance status...
Granted, finding a new SO without breaking up with the old one FIRST should make the first one a lot more angry with you.
By the way, I have to say I absolutely LOVE that there is an interaction for "romantic interest" called "Let's just be friends." It doesn't even have a huge negative effect on the relationship (after all, you aren't even going steady!). In the Sims 2, falling out of love with somebody was irritatingly difficult. People got jealous over the stupidest crap, and the only way to stop them from getting jealous was to get rid of the love, which was usually only possible by doing something to make them jealous =P Basically, falling in love ruined relationships in Sims 2. It was very hard to go back to being friends.

I need further help with this LTW.
Since I can't get him to have simultaneous girlfriends, I invited his lovers over one at a time, proposed "go steady" to get the boyfriend/girlfriend status, then broke up. He now has 9 ex-girlfriends and a current girlfriend, which makes 10, but the LTW is still not satisfied.
Anyone got any ideas? I hated satisfying romance LTWs in TS2 and either didn't play romance sims or rerolled the LTW until they got a career LTW, and it looks like I'm going to find romance-type LTWs just as annoying in TS3.
Roflganger:
From your first post, I can't quite tell, but have you tried having 10 romantic interests at once? Perhaps the want is worded badly. (Sheer speculation, I've avoided the want precisely because I hated playing TS2's romance and popularity Sims so much.)

How did you get this option to pop up? I've got a Sim who's recently married and I'd like to kill off her "romantic interest" relationship with her coworker, but have never seen this come up.

Maybe you need to "woohoo and leave 'em."
