Dating Rules
- Dates can only be invited on Saturday or Sunday.
- Each person can be taken on one date per week.
- Multi-dating is allowed โ you can date multiple candidates simultaneously.
- You can date more than one person, but you can only propose to one.
- After marriage, other candidates you were dating automatically become Best Friends.
- Kissing is available once dating (and continues through engaged and married statuses).
๐ก Saturday is the most popular date day โ plan ahead and have your Date Inspiration Items ready.
All Date Types
Fields of Mistria has multiple date types that you unlock with Date Inspiration Items. Each new date type awards a Photo Card the first time you complete it.
| Date Type | Inspiration Item | How to Unlock |
|---|---|---|
| Basic Date | None required | Available from the start of dating |
| Bathhouse Date | Bath Soap (100,000t from Wheedle's stall) | Requires an active dating relationship. If dating Caldarus before the main story is complete, the bath takes place at the small pool in The Deep Woods instead. |
| Photo Card Dates | Various Date Inspiration Items | Each new date type awards a Photo Card on first completion โ hang them on your wall at home |
๐ก Bath Soap is the most expensive date item at 100,000t โ save up early if you want the Bathhouse Date with your preferred candidate.
Multi-Dating: Dating Multiple People
- Multi-dating (dating multiple people at the same time) is fully allowed in Fields of Mistria.
- You can take one date on Saturday and a different person on Sunday.
- Multi-dating does not trigger jealousy โ NPCs do not confront you about seeing other people.
- However, you can only propose (Engagement Ring) to one person. After marriage, other dating partners become Best Friends.
- If you want to keep multi-dating going for heart points, do not engage until you are ready to choose.
Jealousy Mechanics
- Fields of Mistria has NO jealousy mechanic โ NPCs will not get upset if you date multiple people.
- There is no confrontation scene, no heart loss, and no dialogue penalty for multi-dating.
- The only constraint is the Engagement Ring: you can only propose once, and marriage ends all other dating relationships (converting them to Best Friends).
Dating Tips
- Dating is the fastest way to 10 hearts โ Saturday/Sunday dates give significant heart point boosts.
- Buy Bath Soap early if you want the Bathhouse Date โ it costs 100,000t from Wheedle but is a one-time purchase.
- Date Inspiration Items unlock additional date types and Photo Cards โ check vendor stalls and activity rewards.
- You can kiss your dating partner anytime (not just on dates) โ kissing also gives small heart point bonuses.
- If you are multi-dating and close to 10 hearts with your preferred candidate, stop dating the others before proposing to avoid the Best Friend conversion surprise.
- The "how to date someone" question has a simple answer: reach 8 hearts โ Romantic path โ invite on weekend.
