How to Start Dating — Step-by-Step
Step 1: Find Your Target Parafolk
Open the Relationships tab on the left side of your screen, find their portrait, click their icon, then select “Find Parafolk” to instantly locate them on the map.
Step 2: Build Initial Friendship
Click the Parafolk → “Talk with” → Choose white (Neutral) or green (Funny) cards to build the relationship bar.
Do interactions together in a group to speed this up.
Step 3: Unlock Pink Flirting Cards
Keep grinding positive interactions. Once the relationship is high enough, pink Flirting cards will appear in your conversation options.
Step 4: Start Flirting
Before clicking a pink card, check the success percentage stamped on it.
Pick flirtatious dialogue to increase the Relationship Level. If you succeed, you’ll unlock the “Romantic Interest” label.
Step 5: Ask Them to Be Exclusive
After multiple successful flirts, the “Ask to be in a relationship together” card will appear.
Succeeding on this roll makes you officially exclusive.
Step 6: Deepen the Relationship
-
Use “Get Intimate” on a double bed or shower (both Parafolk must be grouped)
-
Continue positive interactions to reach the Lover stage
-
Eventually, the “Propose” card appears; if successful, you become Fiancé
-
To marry, select “Elope” under the “Discuss Relationship” card
Mistakes to Avoid
-
Don’t spam flirt immediately — you must build platonic relationship first or pink cards won’t appear.
-
Watch personality compatibility — mismatched traits (e.g., Serious Para + Jester) give a 20-point penalty.
-
Avoid dating taken Parafolk — if you pick “Friend” on someone with a partner, flirt cards stop appearing entirely.
-
Don’t ignore the success rate — failing flirts makes you Embarrassed and lowers future odds.
-
Use Story Cards if struggling — daily Story Cards can artificially boost romantic stats.
