[addictedKool]

Don't go asuming that everyone who has played a dating game is a complete outcast in society. Perhaps some play out of curiosity? I sure did and decided to played 3 dating otome (targeted for females) games to see what the deal was:

Otometeki Koi Kakumei: Love Revo!! for the PC - actually pretty addicting
Meine Liebe for the GBA - I'm a fan of the manga and anime so I enjoyed playing the game
Tokimeki Memorial Girl's Side for the NDS - played bits and pieces of it and it looks pretty good

I'm definitely not an outcast. I date real people, go out during the weekends and have fun (since weekdays are dedicated to homework/studying), etc. Sure, there are people who prefer solely dating sims rather than human interaction but they are others who play for the stories or for curiousity's sake.
