Each date or outing lasts five minutes but can be extended based on the amount of fun the Sims have. When the Sims arrive on a lot, a timer begins to count down. The fun meter starts in the center and measures how well the outing or date is going. The meter is divided and when the fun rises above the divider the player will be given more time.

You can help The Sims Wiki by adding it.
Released with the expansion pack Nightlife, this option allows groups of friends to get out of the house, or just two Sims to get to know each other a little better.
Forming an Outing
Contacts will phone to ask if a Sim would like to go on an outing Downtown or players can ask other Sims to "Form Casual Group" under the "Ask..." option. Casual groups can also be formed with the phone or computer.
Asking Sims on a Date
Sims can phone another Sim to ask them on a date and choose to go to a community lot, or ask them in person. If the Sim asks them in person, the date will start as soon as they accept.
A Sim can also ask the Gypsy Matchmaker to get them a date. The date starts as soon as she introduces them.
Time and Fun Meter
Each date or outing lasts five minutes but can be extended based on the amount of fun the Sims have. When the Sims arrive on a lot, a timer begins to count down. The fun meter starts in the center and measures how well the outing or date is going. The meter is divided and when the fun rises above the divider the player will be given more time.

Players can choose to end the date or outing earlier.

Players can also view the aspiration and wants of the Sim they are dating.

Rewards
If a Sim has a good date or outing they will be rewarded by bouquets, love letters and free items from their admirers. Good dates and outings will also restore a Sims motives. Bad dates can result in hate letters and bags of poo.
Player Tips
- Dates are an easy way to fill a Sims aspiration bar. As soon as a date starts on a community lot, the Sim's Wants will reroll to involve interactions with the other Sim, even if the Sim does not have a Romance aspiration. ~ A morris 04:19, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
- Additionally, it is a very easy solution to max out the Aspiration bar before a birthday or to keep a Sim with romance aspiration entertained in a monogamous relationship, because as stated above, all Wants will reroll to involve the current partner on the Date.
