Inter-racial relationships
That whole area is “iffy”.
In GW1 there were implications that Norns and Humans can, and will, have children.
Do you even lift, bro?
I’m a male charr and my girlfriend ingame is an asura.
We have lovely babies
well an asura female chatted up my human female at a dance party the night before wintersday
Perhaps look at the Historia Fia quest in cursed shore, if you talk to Crusader Jasper while Fia is out, it suggests he might have some feelings for her (use the charm option).
Anet has to be very carefull what content they put into their game that even hints to said possibilities due to the countless prudes in existance that would go all up in arms about it being in a game that kid’s can and do play.
So if there is any exampels in the game, they are likely hidden or at the very least present in places that are not frequented by players.

I’m sorry. I didn’t realize this was such a sensitive issue.
The idea of a battle-hardened Charr and a youthful, naive Sylvari as a couple just seemed sweet to me somehow.
It is hardly a sensitive issue. One of the main characters in the story is a lesbian vegetable for crying out loud. When I said “iffy” I meant that the lore is somewhat contradictory.

@Oglaf: I think he was referring to SolarNova’s comment.

The idea of a naive Sylvari and battle-hardened anything doesn’t make sense to me as a romantic interest. I always come back to the conversation between the asura and sylvari guarding the gate in the Grove, where the sylvari keeps asking about the Golem’s mother. The sheer childishness of the race somehow barriers the idea of a feasible relationship with more roughened persons.

Maybe a protective person would find a weaker and naive someone worth protecting, somehow, and further develop a relationship with that someone. And the discussion between those two shows that Sylvari can effect how others think with their “naive” mind, at the end, the Asura did think the way how the Sylvari think, even just for a moment.

Ok, let me try rephrasing that. A battle-scarred character. The contrast of naivety would provide a sense of healing for the rough character and give him/her an opportunity to see the world through a lens other than pain and violence.
Meanwhile, the more naive character comes to realize that the world isn’t all sunshine and roses; pain and violence are just as much a part of life as joy. Moreover, some things are worth fighting to protect.
Also, I don’t think that the childishness of the Sylvari race necessarily prevents them from connecting with rougher individuals, and not all Sylvari fall into the same mold of childishness. Caithe and Trahearne, for example, are more seasoned. And in Caithe’s case, she herself is a little more rough for wear in the wake of her fallout with Faolain.
Of course, both of those examples are from firstborn, the oldest of Sylvari, but it stands to reason that with the right experiences other Sylvari could grow into the same kind of maturity.
