I know it's anecdotal, but among my students (12-18 y/o), dating sims are extremely popular. Probably the most popular genre after battle royal games. I would definitely consider dating sims romance games.
Dating sims are generally not played by heterosexual boys on Playstation or Xbox.
Dating sims are absolutely played by heterosexual boys. Some of the weirdest, red-pill, alpha-male shit I've seen is from dating sims.
But yeah, usually on PC, I would think.
