I am currently playing on a new save I have mods enabled but nothing to mess with these two things, when I ask someone on a date we go to the location and I start doing the required tasks but it does not tick off then after about 30 seconds it ends and I get a bronze medal and if I need that date for an Aspiration 9 times out of 10 it won't count towards that.
I am playing a vampire teen if that helps in anyway?
Try dating someone else. This is a problem that I've only experienced with certain characters, such as the college professors from Discover University and the bar owner from Cottage Living. I don't play Teens very often, so I don't know which Teen characters might be affected, but I think most Teens should be okay. I don't think it's because you're playing a vampire.
You should also be aware that mods sometimes affect things they weren't intended to affect. Don't rule them out as the cause of a problem until you've tested them.
ETA: Sounds like playing a vampire teen might actually be the problem, after all.
This is still happening and it's definitely not just vampires or teens. And it's not just dates. I recently played Strangerville and my Sim was dating the librarian NPC. Every single time he would either travel with her to the local bar, or go to the bar and then invite her to hang out from there, she'd arrive and then immediately leave. If my sims invite the NPC sim to their house and hang out there, they'll stay for a while, but any public lot seems to cause the NPC sim to leave immediately after arriving. Very frustrating.
I'm also experiencing this problem with my sim that lives in Strangerville. Are the NPCs here not date-able because of the possibility of infection? Just a thought. I'm having trouble with Jess Sigworth (infected), Erwin Preis (not infected, manager of the curio shop), and Don Lothario (not infected, nonresident, but bartender at 8 Bells.)
