Sexuality is a large part of who we are as persons and it influences many decisions we make. Sadly, I don't know how to make a romance subplot believable.

Are there any good guidelines to creating characters' love-story arcs? Any good articles about it? What are some common pitfalls to look out for? Are there any good analyses of good and bad romance stories in recent pop culture?

How do I make a romance believable?
