@realdoctorMD This has happened to me before after I lost my entire game and had to recreate some of my couples, without wanting to just pair them up in CAS. I mean unless they are married you can't do that in CAS. (Unless the new update has added the option to link someone as a partner/gf/bf/fwb, I haven't loaded my game yet.) That's an option that would be useful.
What I did was switch play between the 2 Sims. So Athena dates one of the Bro household, but he wasn't having any of it when I tried to pair them up again. I alternated play from her to him and then got him to shower her with attention, built the relationship and ask her out since he had been the one holding out on her. Got there eventually! Watch where you take them to build the relationship if they are taking their time about it, somewhere virtually deserted is better so that NPCs don't pester. I used the deserted beach in Sulani or The Bluffs and created a nice date area to keep everyone happy with the environment (if you have IL/GT packs). If they chose a date at Magnolia Promenade or the city it made their relationship much worse for all the interruptions. It got on my nerves this one!
