Are you using your phone to ask an NPC on a date? I had this happening a lot too, until I figured out what was happening: My date wasn't actually available at the time. I was calling during their work, or whatever, so they would arrive at the restaurant (I like using restaurants, your date will mostly stay put and interact with you, instead of having to chase them around another venue like Pepe LePew...) but then immediately get back to work. Once I figured out what was happening, I started inviting them to hangout at my house first. If they were available on the "Ask to hangout" menu, and then show up, then they aren't busy and you'll be able to go on a date with them.
Also- ask a potential date about their career. Once you've done that, you can see their schedule in the Relationships menu, so if you want to date a specific sim you'll know when you can ask them. In my case, I usually don't care who I go out with, I just need to fill the Love Day or Serial Romantic requirements lol.

This has been happening for me too, for some time when another Sim calls my Sim and invites them on a date. Almost immediately the active date box on the top left disappears, and so does the Sim who invited me, leaving my Sim alone on the lot. I have no mods installed.

So I asked a sim out, we went on a date but it ended about immediately and I got the "bronze medal" for it. My date was a grocery delivery guy.

This is happening to me now, and its never happened until i downloaded eco life. My date is a teen and does not have work or school I've used both the phone and the flirtation social menu to ask him on a date. All times; once we've reached the location I can interact with him for a few times and then the date ends. I honestly wouldn't mind if it weren't for the fact that the dates aren't counting for the romance aspiration that i have equipped. I do have some mods installed though, does anyone have a clue as to what mod would cause this?

Something similar happened to me just now. My child sim sent a playful message to his friend, so she asked him to come over and hang out. The timer said just under four hours, and then it was suddenly over very fast. My sim is human, no occults. The other kid is a random townie, but I think she's human too. I've never had that happen before.
