General advice on romance
Romance isn't all about just selecting the romance option when it appears. You have to gain the favor of your lovers before you can love them. Make sure you choose the right dialogue options and the right actions to gain your companion's favor. You will be able to see who approves and disapproves of your choices in the upper left corner of the screen as you make certain decisions. You don't have to be perfect, but you won't be able to have sex with someone if they think negatively of you.

If you say the right things, Minthara will be waiting for you to start dating. Find her and tell her you're ready. Minthara's romance scene is the only fully animated sex scene in the game right now, and there are even a skill test or two that influence how the scene unfolds.
