Luck isn't on her side, but it doesn't matter. Christine continues to speak pleasantly, sneaking in a flirt here and there, but ultimately keeps everything friendly for now. She also chooses to share a story of her peeing her pants, which is weird, but apparently Freddie and another Sim are into it.
Whatever it takes to get those relationship meters high. The days pass as Christine lives her life. She calls up Freddie now and then, inviting him over for lunch or otherwise just to hang out and improve relationship scores. Again, other than the occasional flirt, she keeps things innocent and focuses on improving the friendship score for now. Now that she knows Freddie is decently compatible, she decides it's time they try to have a real date. Sims don't exist in a vacuum of informality; a date is not just an informal name given to a hang out between romantic interests.
Freddie is receptive, so they both instantly teleport to the park. The date starts, and this is a formal event. As the date starts, no medals are there yet, but at least Christine can see the objectives. The main objective, the one responsible for the majority of the score, is to socialize with her date 20 times.
This is much easier than it may sound, given that you have many hours to complete this. The time limit is shown to the right of the score bar, and you can click it to end the date early. Christine has no plans to do that, so she sits down with Freddie to chat. This fulfills one of the minor objectives in the process.
When a minor objective is fulfilled, it disappears off the list and is replaced with another, until the social event is out of objectives. You generally must fulfill the main objectives and all but one minor objectives in order to achieve a gold level. Getting the gold does not confer any direct relationship bonuses, but it does give your household free items. Plus, the objectives steer you in the correct direction to maximize your gains for the event anyway in this case romantic relationship scores.
Christine performs admirably, achieving gold level before even getting halfway to the time limit. She spends the rest of the date aggressively using romantic-type interactions, which are going over great. She took the relationship slow enough that, once she started in with the romance, Freddie was receptive to it. By the time the date is over, Christine uses the Romance Odd grammar usage aside, Freddie accepted it, and they are officially an item.
That's a very high romantic relationship score! Freddie automatically leaves after the date concludes, but Christine hears wedding bells in her head. Here, Christine makes another mistake. Rather than capitalize on the high relationship score, she just assumes everything is fine and doesn't even call Freddie for a week. Emotion Emotion can have a major impact on how often your Sim's Romantic Socials are accepted. If your Romantic Interest has any of the positive moods, they'll be more likely to succeed. Some of the negatives can make them almost impossible to pull off, although you can always try to turn the other Sim's mood around by making them playful through jokes, being happy and using Brighten Day, or any other Emotion-related Socials.
Those that pop up contextually, like give advice, can soothe negative moods instantly. Note that these are the success values for your Sim, and there is a separate set for the target. If both Sims are Flirty, it's even better. Consider these relative, as the numbers for the target Sim are generally lower. Dating Dating in the Sims 4 gives you some direction toward success in your Sim's Romantic life and a little Reward should you earn a medal. You will get the option to ask Sims out on a date under Romantic fairly early in conversation, but should try to establish a little friendship first.
Once that's done, you can select the option and, if they accept, a lot to have the date. Note that you can pick the current lot and have that encounter turn into an instant date. I liked Dating at home, since you have more control over the setting and can establish a Flirty environment with Paintings that your own Sim painted while Flirty and other items. Dating offers a variety of objectives, and the more you can cross off, the higher your rank Bronze, Silver, Gold. Once you've won a medal, the score will not go down so you can then proceed with your Date however you like.
I've written some of them down so that you can get an idea what's expected of you.
Falling in Love, Dating a Girlfriend/Boyfriend or Proposing Marriage
Here are the things that may come up. When planning a Date, you should have high Needs so that your Sim doesn't lose out just because they were too tired. There's no real penalty, just lack of a reward. Dates last 6 hours.
Forming Romance - Buildup Example: How to Kiss Getting two Sims to Kiss can be a challenge if they're just not compatible, but if two Sims seem to hit it off in Friendly Conversation, all you need to do is gradually work the conversation toward Suggestive Encounter and up to Steamy Exchange through Romantic Interactions to get Kiss to appear. It comes earlier with some established Relationship. Once you see First Kiss and things seem to be going well, go for it! The first kiss causes a big bump in Romantic Relations between the two Sims, and can easily lead to more.
It makes them happy, and that will boost success of future socials, so it's a great starting point. This will not likely come up just walking up to them, but if you simply pull off a few Romantic socials, the option will appear.

I see 2 options but! Often the Soul Mate status glitches. Try traveling with your sim to see if that resets it. Also saving, quitting and if all else fails usually time fixes it. Clearing out the cache files is a good idea to do when your game begins to get a little buggy and Repairing Game is also useful. There is a girl Steve is trying to impress but when I open more options, It just has Friendly, funny, mean, and even mischief.
