It's possible. I've started two new saves since then. Zhaleh Amani is still obessed with my sim although since romantic exploration is turned off they don't form a romantic relationship. When interacting with any other sim inside his gender preference, he does develop romantic relationships. Right now he has romantic relationships with a plant sim after asking for forbidden fruit and magic bean. And he has romantic relationships with Morgyn Ember and Simeon Silversweater after asking them to teach him magic.
Sounds odd.
Could you edit your first post to make it about non-romance interactions giving romance ?
You can edit your post by clicking on the cogwheel in the upper right corner.
The cogwheel in the upper right only gives me the option to report a post for negative infractions.
The post itself has no cogwheel or three little dots to open a menu with edit options.
Weird.
Could you make a new report then ? I'll move this one out to gameplay
Sure, I can make a new report.
