I nead help finding some dating games plaze help me

plaze?

Some easy to access english language ren'ai (romantic love) games would probably be the ones from Hirameki International. The only minus point is that the DVD format makes things limited but at least it makes the games more accessible.
Some games are:
Day of Love, Amusement Park, Hourglass of Summer, Tea Society of a Witch
You should be able to purchase them from a lot of places like Amazon or 'Best Buy' (an American store I think)

It really depends what you're looking for.
Adult? Non-Adult? Bishoujo (girl) Games? Bishounen (boy) Games?
What kind of elements? (a straightforward book style game?, a hybrid game with RPG or other elements?, whatever?)

If you're only looking for free alternatives then fan-made games or demos are your options.
A lot of fan-made games can be found right here in the Game Maker's Corner section of this forum.
For demos of commercial games just check out official sites for the games you're interested in. They sometimes have a demo and often they also have mirror sites where you can find demos to all sorts of games.

To find out about commercial games you can try review and information sites online. Google is your friend. Just put in any of the terms for this genre and you should get some information. Words like "bishoujo games", "bishounen games", "visual novels", "ren'ai games" etc.
One site that reviews bishoujo games is here: http://www.freetype.net/
Also there are magazines for ren'ai games, only in Japanese so far but it does give you a good idea of the various games available, their current popularity, their graphics and general gameplay and more. The one I buy (and I'm in England which I wouldn't expect to stock such stuff so it must be easily available) is G's Magazine.

You can find more information here:

If you have a more specific question then go for it.

But anyway here's what a 5 minute look into Google got me, so you might want to look on there (Google):

Hey, maybe a mod or Lemma should make this into a sticky before this info gets lost in here and Sai's got to repeat herself again.

Someone call for a mod....?

I'm sure Sai is liking all of the cookies and cakes

(just a note for people who come in the future in case that thread is buried somewhere later ^_^ )

RightStuf has some dating sims/visual novels. They provide some pretty sweet deals at times. Some links:

Tea Society of a Witch - $6.99 (normally $19.99)
Ai Yori Aoshi Windows Game - $9.99 ($29.99)
Graduation - $3.00 ($29.99)

They have an adult section too that has the Xchange, Gibo, Tokimeki Check-In, etc etc.

Still a little bit overpriced.

I don't know why they don't just give Graduation away as a free gift with purchase if they're so desperate to unload copies from the warehouse. Making it cheaper and cheaper doesn't seem like it will help really.

It's not even that bad a game, although the awful voice acting is a downside. From what I've heard, the others mentioned in this super-cheap list are probably worse!
