Thank you for the clarification.
My reasons for considering this a bug would be:
1) Inexplicable sudden bad end for a date otherwise seeming going well. Note that this happening due to my sim going to the washroom long enough to urinate does not count as a 'pathing' issue. This may be a 'feedback' issue rather than a bug, but if it is intended that your date is that needy, it seems very strange.
2) Date mechanics seem completely different when asked out than when asking out. When I asked a sim out to my place, I got the window in the top left showing date goals. That didn't happen when the date asked my sim out. I will experiment with this a bit further in coming days to see if that is because of being asked out or if it was because the date was at a social venue rather than at home.
Issue 1 might be a feedback issue rather than a bug *if* that is intended behavior. Issue 2 seems much more like a bug. Note issue 1 could also be related to issue 2. Even though the dates seemed to be going well it could be that the goals set were not actually being met, but without the indicator that just was not clear. Again, I will experiment further as time permits to provide more information.
Sorry if I misunderstood you but it sounded like the going to the bathroom took a long time because you having issues with bystanders but reading your post again it said: AND without correlation between the bystanders and the bathroom visit.
I agree that this sounds very needy.
This was the original thread: http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-4-Bug-Reports/FIXED-NPC-Social-Events-always-end-badly/m-p/4545434#M13026 on the issue. You never have a counter if you get invited which make sense, as you shouldn't have to do stuff as YOU get invited.
There should may be no classification for dates if you get invited as for the rest of the social events.
It's a bit hard to get an invitation triggered so I can't really try this until I get one.
I'll add it for now but changed your title to better reflect the issue.

I just went through getting a couple together in the last couple of days. My active sim asked his intended out twice, neither date was very successful which surprised me because I don't usually have problems getting good dating outcomes. The next time they had a date, he was the one that was invited out. The romance bar was much easier to fill and the date ended with her agreeing to be his girlfriend and move in with him. In my case, with this particular couple, it was much easier to get them together with the active sim being the one who was invited out.

Did you not complete the goals when you invited the other Sims out ?
- dolldrms110 years agoSeasoned Ace
@crinrict, no I couldn't complete the goals on either one of the first two dates. For some reason, both of those sims kept getting the embarrassed buff and I just couldn't get the romance bar to advance much at all. They were good friends but suddenly kept having "awkward encounter" moods.
I don't usually have a problem meeting the goals. I don't think I'd had less than gold on a date in about 3 months.

Can you try a married couple to see if the problem still persists?
- crinrict10 years agoHero+
I've tested this over the weekend and had no troubles getting successful dates.
As @canelacaliente said, you should get messages on how the date is going.
Mine were not married and successful nonetheless except the last one when my Sim decided to flirt with someone else while on the date. The Date kinda didn't appreciate that :P
