@letmeliev I linked the wrong thread. I now merged with the correct one.

I'm having this same issue! I figured it was because my sim was a student at university, but it doesn't work now that he's graduated either.

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)

What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Discover University (important one), Island Living, Seasons, Cats & Dogs, Get Together, Get to Work, Werewolves, Vampires, Spa Day, Moschino, My First Pet (I have seen this before I had this), Vintage Glamour, Romantic Garden, Movie Hangout, Perfect Patio

What happens when the bug occurs? No progress can be made. No matter what actions are taken, nothing is counted toward the date goals. Pretty quickly, "Date Unsuccessful" pops up.

Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Not now. I've removed them.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? No

I don't think this is new; I'm pretty certain I've seen this before. As best I can tell, it only affects Lana McKinnon and Serena Bhamra - notably, both are Professors, so I believe that is relevant.

It does not matter in the slightest if the Sim asking them on a date is a university student.

It's a known issue and has been for about 4 years now. I don't expect to see a solution, so the best thing to do would be to stop trying to date professors.
