Remember that we previously had a episode that showed that Gordon was completely awkward around woman and un lucky in love.
He literally fell in love with a construct of a data file, I don't think that he was addicted to the holodeck as he was addicted to an ideal woman. He fell in love with a phone file.
I think we all do that from time to time.
I think the important thing in the episode is that Gordon thought that he could change the reality, he forgot that Lauren had a life and he really couldn't accept that the things that happened were pre-destined, ie going back to Greg.
I like the comparison of this episode with the episode where Geordi fell in love with the holo simulation of the woman that designed the Enterprise warp core, but if you go back and watch that episode, Geordie was actually kind of creepy in that episode as he tried to make her an ideal woman and changed the personality of the holo deck creation of what was basically a training tape.
Go back and watch it, I dare you, its actually a creepy episode about compulsion.
