@VeeDub I've had the one that mentions a Sim's llama jokes never getting old happen quickly before...but never almost instantaneously, and it was one-sided, rather than mutual.
@Monaveil There must be something about that gym that brings workout partners closer together... :D
@Elliandre We decided to have my Sim fully embrace (pun intended) the Love Day spirit. He lives in Newcrest, but his parents and younger siblings still live in the family house in Willow Creek. That's how he happened to be in the right place at the right time. It also meant he could go back to the WC without seeming creepy.
After he finished his shift as a lifeguard, he visited a bush near his house and picked a few roses, just in case. Then, he traveled to the Willow Creek gym for a workout...and there she was, chatting with a group of Sims they both know. He made his way over and joined the conversation. The other Sims drifted away, leaving the two of them alone beside the punching bags. In this less-than-stereotypically-romantic setting, he began to flirt with her a bit, and she responded in kind. He gave her the rose he'd picked for her (way to fulfill those holiday "goals!)
The evening ended with the two of them enjoying a fantastic first date at the park. <3
