I rarely have my sims initiate dates any more because I find that the goal-oriented play isn't really my thing. But I do let them accept dates if someone else invites them. Well, unless the caller wants to go all the way to Selvadorada and isn't wealthy enough to justify going so far just for one outing and/or if my active sim isn't a Selvadoradan person by birth. :lol: I also don't let them accept dates to a furniture store or something unless there are good story reasons to let them do so. I don't really know why retail venues are even on the list for potential date locations. Unless I've customized them myself (which is rare), they pretty much never have typical date stuff to do. :confused:
All that said, on the rare occasions when I do have mine initiate a first date, it's usually very casual. That usually means an outing at a park or an evening at home.
