I really had an issue with the whole attraction system. My Sims never seem to be attracted to anyone. ? I just recently added a shimrod mod to disable that whole thing.
I have found, that calling a Sim you want to eventually romance is a good way to take the relationship from acquaintance to friend, or friend to good friend, which makes inviting them over or out somewhere more successful.
Also, keep you eye on the top left, where the chat interactions are, that will give you clues as to the mood of the convo. i.e. blahblahblah thinks your sim is being flirty, means to use more romance options, the light is green now, so to speak.
Oh, man, I have the opposite issue. So much so that I grabbed the corresponding game file and tuned it. I massively reduced the "random" element and made other tweaks that appeal more to me. I haven't really tested it out in game yet but it'll be a relief if it's toned down and more meaningful.
I guess that doesn't really help anyone else though, so I'll share things I found in the file. Apparently sims like high skills, high job level, wealth, celebrity status, certain moodlets (like minty breath and even suntanned) in addition to similar traits and compatible zodiacs. They're more shallow than I thought. :/
