The bonus minigame only happens if you beat night dates, so if you don't feel like doing it just don't go on dates at night. Like the guy before said though, the panties that you get for beating the bonus games are required for completion and unlocking alpha mode.

If you're having trouble with the bonus game, the best advice is to stop thinking; the playstyle is completely different from the regular dates. Just match everything you see as fast as you can. There won't be any noticeable progress in like the first 30 seconds, but once you fill like 1/5 of the bar, it'll slowly go up as long as you keep matching. Never hesitate for more than 3 seconds until you get to 75%.
