According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, and thanks in part to services like onlinedivorcer.com that helps couples end their marriage in just a few clicks of the mouse, there are now more single Americans than married people. Pretty much by the time the last boomer dies off, the only marriages left are going to be tax schemes and YouTube pranks.

And in fact, it's now getting more and more common not to deal with the opposite sex at all. This is a fraught new era, writes NBC News, full of paranoia and potential allegations. Talking can lead to flirting, which can lead to #MeToo.

But we're still humans, with biological drives and emotional needs.

Enter the dating and relationship simulators. These games allow players to explore dating and relationships with all of their usual ups and downs, and there are thousands of them catering to every conceivable demographic and orientation. How to choose which one to play?
