It's always the same. You get railroaded into a romance, as long as you always look out for the dedicated simp dialogue option and keep pressing it, whenever it comes up. It's such a boring way to do this. Instead of a romance dynamically developing, you constantly have to be cringe mushy idiot, who interrupts his adventure by validating the opinion of your female companions. It's always the same formula.

There HAS TO BE a better way to do this.

And this is why videogame romance is and always will be superior, I just want to do cute shit man.

How about non-companion romances? Or drop romance altogether and focus on the game instead. If you feel devious you could later make romance DLC

How about you grow a pair and be more assertive?

It's because that kind of dynamism involves a LOT more writing and coding, even when the developer isn't a troon that hates his target market.

How is it railroading if you have to choose the romance dialogue options?

Most romance writers (especially in the vidya scene) have no idea how actual romance works, for one.

So how would you implement it? An algorithm determining the outcome of romance based on the appearance you've made in the character creator?

Based, any girl that goes out like that is a huge red flag

Most games, even ones like Bioware or Persona games that are full of waifufaggotry among fans, aren't "romance simulators". They aren't trying to capture the pulse of a real relationship. It's just a few cutscenes tacked onto a game that is not about romance at all.
Furthermore, most of the time romance is in an RPG. And every RPG depends to an extent on you the player contributing your imagination to the story and filling in the gaps because they can never present to you every scrap of conversation and interaction that would be expected to happen across an entire epic story.

I would keep the system for only one specific female character. Other women have to be romanced in different ways. Like a badass warrior tomboy, who also has dedicated "romance dialogue options", but which actually just make her hate you, because she doesn't want to be constantly flirted with. She prefers men with a more stoic mindset and a player constantly hitting on her, doesn't fit her type. You could actually create a system, where the game tries to figure out what type of character you are and then restricts or unlocks romances based on that.

Maybe there is a priestess, who has a hardcore helper syndrome, who only falls in love with you, if you get critically injured and has to nurse you back to health. Or a Demoness, whose proper "romance" path is hard to unlock, because it's just very easy for her to only make it about sex. Like you need to do a quest for her, but then also assert your will and attack her, make her submit and not be a lawful good character. If you just simped for her, you might only get a sex scene, but not be able to romance her, because she sees you as a gulliable male.

Alpha protocol.
You keep insulting and ignoring her, which makes her wet and she ends up raping you.

That would make it GOAT, but maybe someone will create mod for that.

men don't want romance in games, they want foreplay and sex. Romance is just there to justify the sex.

Kino if you can ignore some jank. It's very replayable since you won't see all options on your first playthough and choices actually matter.

awkward tps clearly built for stealth and pistols, but with a great reactive rpg under it all most people will miss because it requires replays to actually see how doing locations in different order affects things. also, probably the only instance of paraphrased dialog choices done right.

I'm not sure the increasing amount of sex in video games nowadays, all the smutty nudity like in BG3, is there to appeal to men. I think it is there to appeal to women mostly. Women consume smutty fiction all the time and it is seeping into video game writing. While for men it is either porn, in which case they just want sex and nothing else and keep one hand on their dick the whole time, or they don't care about the smut and are fine with some fade to black cutscene.
