Moonlight Peaks - two characters kiss beenath a wooden heart arch

I was pleasantly surprised to find that going on dates in Moonlight Peaks is more involved than your average farm sim. After you extend an invite, your beau will take you out for a little activity featuring some of Moonlight Peaks' minigames. You're free to date around, too, so don't be stingy with your time. Here's how to start stepping out with all the locals.

How to go on dates in Moonlight Peaks

Moonlight Peaks - interaction options with Elvira showing "Ask on date"

Reach 4 heart friendship level with a datable townie
Choose "Invite" and "Ask on date" when talking to them
Go to sleep at the end of the night and your date will begin the next night
Listen to your date and play a mini activity to have a successful outing
After finishing a date (even a bad one) your relationship will change to "dating"
You can have a "dating" relationship with multiple people at once

Be careful asking multiple people on a date in the same night! Whoever you asked most recently will pick you up for an outing the following night. The dates seemed to stack in reverse order, so the person I asked first came to get me the second night, though I didn't see a way to track this anywhere. I have no idea what stacking too many dates might do, so perhaps best to avoid that.

How to start a date

Counterintuitively, you need to start a date by going to sleep. You'll ask a townie out by using the "invite" and "ask on date" dialogue interaction after you've reached four hearts with them, but your rendezvous will happen at the very beginning of the night after that. So head to bed and get ready to be picked up promptly at 6pm.

Date rewards

Moonlight Peaks - interaction options with Mina showing "kiss" as a choice.

Your date will pick the activity to take you on, some of which will reward you more than others. Here's what you can expect:

"Dating" relationship status in your friendship menu
Friendship points awarded for a successful date
Once you're dating, you can kiss your partner each day with the "give" dialogue interaction
Some dates will send you home with a gift, like a custom bouquet when a date takes you to do flower arranging
