YC founders often do YC more than once. If you choose to pass on funding and date a founder, what happens when you they do their second lap?
What if you choose not to invest, date a founder, and then start to consider funding another startup that is in the same cohort and close to the founder you are dating? There could be questions about what information you have that you shouldn't.
It's a full-stop "don't do it." There's too much potential to hurt and divide the community and lots of smart, attractive people outside of YC.
