Dating

Dating is a mechanic in Littlewood. It involves accumulating enough Heart EXP with other townsfolk to allow you to schedule dates with them, and eventually be given the option to marry them. All townsfolk are dateable, with the exception of Dudley.

Once per day, you are able to compliment one Townsfolk, providing they are living in your town. Complimenting consumes a small amount of energy and increases that character's Heart EXP. Once a character reaches level 20 of Heart EXP, the option to Compliment will sometimes be replaced with the option to 'Flirt'. This option results in mildly different reactions, while continuing to grant Heart EXP.

If you have unlocked the Ultimate Upgrade for the Air Balloon Platform, from the Crafting Workshop, you are able to drastically increase Heart EXP with a chosen character once per day by travelling with them on the Air Balloon.

Dates
Once level 30 is reached with a character, you start being given the option to "Date" provided your heart EXP is at level 6, 8, or 10. This will schedule a date with that character later in the month, anywhere between one and two days away. This can be viewed on the Calendar. You cannot schedule a date if you are within two days of the end of the month.



On the day of the date, you will see a short introductory cutscene showing your character and chosen Townsfolk waiting for you in the Town Square, similar to any other festival. You are urged to go there and speak to them, which does not immediately prompt for them to accompany you, rather they will suggest you go to Port City Deluca together. Ask them to "Hang Out" and make your way to Port City Deluca via the Air Balloon Platform.

Once there, you will have a short cutscene in the park, afterwards receiving 200 Dewdrops. Continue to increase a character's Heart EXP to schedule a second, and later a third, date. Each date will progress through a series of cutscenes which are unique to each townsfolk. You can date as many different townsfolk as you like, until you have proposed to one of them. After this, all currently-earned Heart EXP with all townsfolk becomes redundant, no more can be gained, and you will lose all Heart EXP you have gained with anyone other than your spouse. You can still compliment and travel with characters on the Air Balloon to increase their character level, though.

Proposing
After the highest level of Heart EXP is reached with a character, and all three dates with them have been complete, you will be given the option to 'Propose', providing you have a Wedding Ring. After some dialogue you are given the option to customize your wedding, choosing the date and theme. The date can be anywhere from the next day up until one year away. If you schedule the wedding date that is the same day as a holiday, the holiday will not take place that season. You can also choose a theme for the wedding. Themes include: Blue Ocean, Green Pasture, Pink Teacup, Orange Sunset, Golden Luxury, and Dark Magic. Up until the day of the wedding, you will be given the option to "Invite" other townsfolk to attend the event.

On the morning of the wedding, a short cinematic will play of the Townsquare, with your awaiting partner and all the Townsfolk you have invited. Interact with your partner to begin the main wedding cutscene. The day of the wedding the energy is unlimited before the beginning of the ceremony.

After the ceremony, the credits will play, along with a variety of Special Moments of the various other townsfolk coupling up. This does not have any gameplay effect post-marriage, however. You will also receive a large friendship boost with all townsfolk.

Following the day of your marriage, your spouse will reside in Your House, and will initiate a piece of dialogue each time you go to bed. You can talk to your spouse once per day to receive one of the following blueprints.
