You should have totally went for it, Riki! Kuruguya is a total beautiful dream girl, and she's clearly into you.

It's the result of choosing to go with a linear storyline. We can't have Riki dating all of the girls a la School Days' Makoto, can we?
Actually it's rather clever how J.C. Staff managed to introduce the romance elements of Kurugaya's route without having Riki explicitly confess his love.
I think that they made a good choice in saving Kurugaya's route for the second season since it's the arc that contains more hints to the "secret of the world".
I also liked the added scenes that hint at Rin's jealousy.

Kurugaya and Mio happen to be my favourite girls too. I think it's because they are the smart ones, while Rin, Komari, Kud and Haruka are the "idiots".
