Shoujo-ai/Yuri routes in otome games?

Agreed! This is a large part of the reason why I think more games should have these routes as options.

I like the idea of having a yuri option in otome games. I'm a fan of "Gay Options" in general. (lol)
But I know some of the ladies are less than keen to romance other ladies, so they could stand to make it obvious when the turning point to get onto her path is if they want to avoid it.
Other than that, yuri options in otome games seem... half-assed. At the best, they seem more like a strong sismance. They have a serious case of Hide Your Gays. Oh well though.
If you want yuri, I'd recommend sticking to games of the genre for these reasons.

I AM SEVERELY BUTTHURT THAT YOU CANNOT GET WITH TOMO IN UTAPRI

no really, I feel that Tomo and Haruka have more chemistry than Haruka and any other of the dudes. For real.

(and while we're talking about things we want that will never happen, I just wanted a side route where Ringo and Hyuuga get together GDI)

It depends actually...
If it's not explicit I guess it's okay - like in ozmafia
But I've played R-18 Chou no Doku Hana no Kusari, and that routes gives me creeps...
*don't get me wrong, I just love bishies bishies and bishies - I enjoy BL and yaoi too... but that scene still bugging me...  
[PS: Tomoyo in cardcaptor sakura 'loves' sakura more than friends, Hotaru in Gakuen Alice 'loves' Mikan too and I totally okay with that]

Honestly I didn't hate yuri. I often read any yuri h-doujinshi, yuri's eroge and yuri fanfiction, but I don't like it on otome game x(
I as a girl want to date a guy on otome game. It's always my believe when I play otome game. So, if the otome game I play include a yuri route I will definitely didn't touch that route (I still play the other route but not yuri route). I think, it's wrong to play otome game and date a girl
