@shinjitenoyami A workaround for any Sim dating barriers is to create your own townies or edit existing NPCs in Other Households to suit your Sim's preferences.
It's something I do regularly, I cull all the extra townies and edit the ones I want to keep so that they can join my game or just join my Sim's social circle or dating life.
You can even get one of them somewhere to live and play as them to introduce them to your Sim, then move them back to Other Households and switch back. I have a flat share Sim with an apartment where I add some random Sim roommates that I don't want to play but are background players edited to be suitable for other Sims as a friend or love interest.
I started this because my game has an issue with townies over spawning in some weird...and I mean weird outfits. It's evolved into being something I find really helpful to facilitate friendships and relationships.

@simsplayer818 I checked all three guys she asked and they were all single, "exploring," and interested in Woohoo with both Male and Female sims (which seems to be the default for pre-existing townies in my game). So the preferences should be fine. When my sim was turned down, I didn't get a popup saying the other sim isn't interested in Woohoo with her - all I see is an embarrassed moodlet. When I've had other sims flirt with someone where there was a preferences mismatch, I got a popup saying the other sim wasn't interested in sims of their type. These I edited in CAS and it was fine.

Creating your own townies and then introducing them to your Sim certainly makes it lot easier. I used to find the game overly flirty. At events and public gatherings all the interactions were either mean or inappropriately flirty but there has maybe been a bit of an over correction here.
