i am getting more and more sick of this taken thing. VMK is NOT a dating service, it is a free online game that has rules that include no close relationships. I don't care if people who know each other in real life do taken, but people doing taken to other people that they don't even know is just wrong. My ideas towards it are that there are only like forty different faces a boy or girl can have, and people who say "your cute" or "are you taken" are pretty foolish. That's like asking a person out wearing a face covered mask!! VMK is not for dating, and if people want to do that, I suggest them move to another online game, just not VMK.
