What Exactly Are Online Dating Sim Games?

There's a new trend growing in the online dating world: Simulated dating games. Yes, in an effort to make online dating more fun for members, and more interactive than just chat, email or even video conferencing, some dating sites have started offering sim dating games too.

Online sim dating games work a lot like standard online role playing games do. You log into the dating site or service that offers the sim game, and create your charactor. Then you're able to walk around in a virtual 3D world, meeting other members of the online dating site.

There's much more to it though. Since this is an interactive game as well as a dating service, you're able to do all sorts of things such as have your sim charactor go to the gym and work out. Or buy new clothes. You can even have your sim find a job so they'll have money to take others out on virtual dates.

As with other online games of this nature, you're able to fully control your dating sim too. You can have them stroll around the city, stop and talk to other sims, go to sleep so their energy is replaced, and more.

And since these games are designed for dating purposes, you still have all the functionality of standard online dating services. You can meet new people, get to know them, and maybe find that one true love. The biggest difference of course, is that you can actually go on a virtual date inside the online dating sim game world.

Assuming you've earned enough money with your virtual job, or completed whatever tasks were needed to earn points, you can ask other members out to coffee, to dinner and a movie, or maybe just see if they want to take a stroll through the city with you... or your sim.

There are several types of online dating sim games cropping up. Some allow you to simply play with friends, while others allow you to log onto a server which has virtual sim dates from around the world. You can also stick to just those daters who are in the same country you are.

Apparently there are a wide range of sim dating games to choose from. Some allow you to try the service for free so you're able to see how you like it before having to pay.

Some say these online dating sim games add an extra something to the whole online dating experience. Instead of having to visit a chat room and wait for others to come along for instance, you can simply stroll your sim charactor through a busy part of the virtual world.

It sounds like these online dating games could be a lot of fun, but remember not to lose touch with reality. Online dating should be another way for you to meet real people, and look for true love and friendship. Don't fall into the trap of using it as a crutch, or a way to hide from the world.
