Dating in Harvest Moon is really very simple. A girl's affection for you is indicated by the color of the heart that appears in her text box. The order of the colors, from least affection to most, is: black, purple, blue, green, yellow, orange, red

There are three ways to raise her affection level:
  1. Give her gifts that she loves or likes
    This is the simplest way to make her like you. Give her as many presents as you can find/afford. If she smiles or blushes, she likes it.
  2. Invite her to romantic festivals
    You can ask her to the Goddess Festival (ask the day before), view the Fireworks Festival with her (ask her at the festival), meet her on top of Mother's Hill on Moon Viewing Day (the girl who likes you most will be waiting), or drop by her house on Star Night Festival. For most of these festivals, she must already have a purple or blue heart for her to say yes.
  3. When she asks you questions, answer correctly.
    During your courtship, your girl will ask you a few questions. Answer correctly, and her affection for you will rise; answer incorrectly, and it will fail. For a list of these questions and the correct answers, look here: events
To get married, your girl must have a red heart, AND you must have the second house extension. If you have both of these, buy a blue feather from the Supermarket. Use it on the girl, and your wedding will take place in one week.
