You can date one person of each gender... Papyrus and Alphys. Which means that in at least one case, the relationship is potentially homosexual in nature, regardless of which gender we decide to interpret Frisk as. And while that may be true in real life, this is a game, and I suspect the author may not be taking things like level of development/emotional maturity into account.

I think that's a better question for the author of the game than for us. I didn't write the two of them like this. Why did he leave the gender ambiguous and have all the characters use "they" pronouns? That is basically what the author is suggesting by doing so. Why do they have a child "dating" someone in the game at all?

I mean, the fact that the author uses ambiguous pronouns, along the "peaceful" method of defeating the Royal Guards strongly suggests that they would have no qualms about putting this in the game. If Frisk knows to tell that one guard to be "honest about his feelings," then clearly he does have a concept of what that means.
