Yeah, I don't really like those events either. Especially since the time you spend on them could be spent much more efficiently by clicking through days as fast as possible by feeding the girl/yourself the biggest available meal at the date location during every available time slot.
Personally, I'd jack up the calories gained from the events to the high heavens. Like, have it be a Dizzy's sponsored bake sale, a Dizzy's sponsored Pub Quiz, and so on for all the event types. Have it be an actually effective and efficient way to make a girl/yourself absolutely blow up rather than how it is now where it's both inefficient AND time consuming.
