Although the devs do have to clarify that it is a game and that's why they approached romance in the past as such, it's not to say that they can't do better. One of the criticisms Bioware faces is making romances too "gamey" with "approval coins," where characters are barraged with gifts until "I love you" is said. According to Patrick Weekes, "everything spirals uncontrollably into chaos".
Are you prepared to like me instead of no one else?. Achieving these number of plot flags will shift into the romance arc, where the player and LI are together for the long run (until either the end of the game or a failure state occurs). Afterwards, a number of plot flags are signaled, indicating chances and objectives where the player and the love interest can establish desire for the relationship. While the friendship arc is already set and establishes the ground work for a player who does not want to romance an individual character, if the player is interested in pursuing a romantic relationship, it starts with a flirt trigger. The player indicates to the writers who they want to romance. 
While relationships have diversified over time, the way romances are crafted stick to the same guidelines. Since Baldur's Gate 2 in 1999, Bioware has blossomed and crushed romances to the behest and agony of many players.
