BG Only: Dating - suddenly "Ask on Date" takes me to the neighborhood screen

I don't see how. I know that before, when doing dates, the Simmies go to a hangout like in a downtown area. When it goes to the neighborhood map, the only thing there are residences. I'm fairly certain that if I click on someone's home, that won't be a date! However, perhaps my "dating" experience has been with receiving calls. I know that when I choose "travel", I get the neighborhood screen. Seems like there is something wrong but what would it be?
