Does this bother you as much as it does me?
Zeljka:
I set one of my serial dream daters up on a boy date, (not unusual in my game but I set him up with a very, very hetero male because he was handy...)
Still being fairly new to the sims dating thing, I was curious if you could do a 'just friends' thing.
They had a dream date without romantic interactions and though they started off as strangers, I think they just did the best friend hug at the end.
and why does everyone always hate on the Romance Sims? They're tied with Romance for my favourite. The first one I ever had was the town uh, man-whore until he married a Family sim. He was completely happy (platinum) faithful to his wife and a far better parent to their gazillion kids than she was. Romance sims are awesome!

I agree with Zeljka - romance sims are awesome. They are sooo easy to keep in platinum that romance became my favorite aspiration (it used to be knowledge before) ;D

I like Romance Sims, too. Their primary desire is woo-hoo, and woo-hooing with their spouse keeps them always in the platinum -- unlike Pleasure Sims, my least favorite (replacing Fortune), who have constant small-point wants like jumping on the couch, lighting the fireplace, taking a bubble bath, etc., plus the time-consuming want for dates.
When Romance Sims they get wants like multiple loves/lovers, etc., I don't fulfill them and the want goes away. They also seem far more interested in caring for their children than Family Sims do. If they (or any Sim) roll a LTW that I don't like -- like 20 simultaneous lovers -- I reroll. After all, the game is about MY pleasure, ultimately ;D

I agree. I have romance sims who flirt/woohoo with anyone they can (romancemod is critical necessity), up to a point. However, I find they make good spouses and parents as well, once they "settle down". Need to make sure they get woohoo with their spouse and things are fine for them. I can ignore wants to "kiss other sim" etc. I also reroll stupid LTWs - I hate the 20 simultaneous lovers, and the "have 10 kids" wants (population control concerns).
I play with a lot of romance, knowledge, family, and popularity sims. I don't like fortune sims much because too many of their wants revolve around buying things, and I can't frankly be bothered. They should go make money and stop bothering me about a new computer/TV, especially if they have one already.
Generally I don't mind if they fall in love with someone else. Leads to interesting situations, which is, to my mind, entertaining.

I also agree. A married Romance sim does not have to be a slut, their wants are easy to fulfill, and they do make good parents. I reroll Romance sims until they get a career LTW and get them married, and they're easy to deal with. Half of my favorite couple is a Romance sim and he's perfectly happy. He's got several other loves, but that doesn't mean I have to let him have them around the house, let him woohoo with them, or let him get caught.
With Family sims, the quantity of children seems to matter more than the family bond--that's kind of annoying. She's got a toddler, a child and a two day old baby--and she wants to have another one? WTF? What about the ones you've already got?
I don't like Pleasure sims because their wants aren't worth much and their Aspiration is kind of stupid anyway. NightLife would have been just fine without it. They lead pointless, ridiculous and stupid lives in my game, in keeping with their airheaded Aspiration.
I can live with Fortune sims. Buying things is easy for a boost and they alway have a want to go to work. I don't have a lot of Popularity sims lately, but they're not too bad.
