Dating

```
*Only characters dateable as of patch 0.7
** Friendship level required to Ask Out on Date.

```

**People you can currently date:**

**Bachelors**: Du\* , Huan\* , Kroc\* , Linde\* (*will only date female characters*), Poer, Rhode\*, Jin

**Bachelorettes**: Abby\*, Becky, Freya\* , Jiyue, Liv, Lori\* , Pauline, Sakona\*, Wallis

\* = People that confess at best friend rank if you're the opposite gender. "Best Friend" will change to "Love" if you accept their confession.

**Relationship Ranks**: (estimate of FP each rank to fill the bar to get to next tier)

(For example, if you are at friendly and want to get to favor, you need 350fp.)

* Strange (15? FP)
* Acquaintance (150FP)
* Friendly (350FP)
* Favor (1000FP)
* Friend (1500FP)
* Best Friend (or Love) (no rank after FP bar is full, but it's about 3000FP to fill the bar)

**General Information**

Currently you can date all of the people mentioned above at the same time without any repercussions (there is a mention of jealousy when taking multiple people to the garden location, but that's it.) You can still take people on dates if you are at love rank with someone. You can have multiple love-ranked relationships.

Once you've asked someone out on a date, you can't ask anyone else until the date is over/cancelled.

While dating is not gender-locked, currently there aren't any same gender confessions yet. *[Needs checking for version 0.7+]*

**Asking Out**

To ask someone out, walk up to the character and use the Greet action. "Ask out on a date" will show up as an option, as long your affection level is high enough and you haven't successfully asked that character out in the previous three days. The three day cooldown applies to characters individually, you ask others in the meantime,

Note: If you've knocked someone out, the date option will still trigger but it will get cancelled due to them being injured.

When you ask someone out on a date, they will tell you to meet them at 10am the next day. You can go to them at 10am if they aren't at the statue yet, but they spawn around 10:20am. If you don't see them, they might be walking there. The date will be cancelled if it gets past 1pm. As of patch 0.7.47 you can miss the date without any consequences.

**During Date**

Everyone seems to have a preferred date spot. Every date spot has 5 different activities.

*Note*: The garden date spot has the activity "anadem" which will put a garden laurel on the head of your partner. This can take a few days to disappear. As of patch 0.7.47 be careful if you've gifted the character an item that occupies the *head* slot, as it may not come back once the laurel disappears.

As you gain intimacy points doing activities at the date spots, you will also unlock intimacy actions which give intimacy points. The actions count once per date. All intimacy actions also give intimacy points which increase based on relationship rank. i.e handholding may only give 2 points at friendly rank, but goes up to 16 at best friend. Carrying/Being Carried count as the same action, so you will only gain intimacy points doing one of them.

It seems you can only kiss once you reach best friend / love rank due to the amount of intimacy points needed. You need to take them to their favorite date spot as well. [Needs testing]

**Ending the Date**

Once you've done at least 3 of the date activities you can talk to the person to *end the date.* You can also walk out of the area at any point to end the date immediately, but you will miss out on the after-date activity. If you choose to end the date by talking to the person, you'll either be automatically transported to the restaurant or, if you're close enough, they'll ask if you want to go with them somewhere instead of eating.

In all cases you'll earn Friendship Points based on the highest level of intimacy you've unlocked -- holding hands, embracing, being carried/carrying, or kissing.

If you end the date by eating together, you can order food to eat. It will cost a little bit of gold but you'll earn extra FP, with the amount varying depending on what dish you pick. See the chart below for the preferred dishes of each character.

FP gained at the end of a date can range from 15-120 based on the intimacy action tier you have unlocked plus an additional 5-50 if you went to the restaurant depending on which food you order.

**FP gained at the end of date based on intimacy tier unlocked:**

* Hand Holding: 15FP
* Hugging: 40FP
* Embracing: 70FP
* Kissing: 120FP

   \* Pauline's seesaw value have been increased as of patch 0.7+ bringing her total intimacy value in line with the rest of the characters.

Jin is now dateable.
