Tips and strategies

Basic Information
Energy: You gain +1 energy per 5 minutes, up to 20 energy. You can watch one ad for +1 energy.

Coins: Coins are really important, especially for the relationship part of the game. You can get coins from daily prize, quests, conversations, and going on successful dates. As you play more, getting coins becomes easier due to the conversation mechanics.

Conversations: Each girl has a capacity of 10 energy for conversation, and this energy completely refills each time you unlock a new character. During conversations, you earn coins.


 * Each correct response in a conversation yields +15 coins*
 * Each incorrect response yields +8 coins*

*Actual coin amount will improve with gifts, see below.

Conversations:

 * Check quests:
 * Quests will often offer a reward if you find a specific stat for a specific character. You learn these stats through conversations.
 * After every conversation energy refill:
 * Each time the game refills the 10 conversation energy for all girls, you can gain between 80 and 150 coins from each girl. As you unlock more girls, this means that you get more coins after each refill. But it's also harder to remember everything to say correctly! After you've given some gifts to girls, the amount of coins increases a lot.
 * Between refills, when you have energy: (not optimal)
 * You can spend 100 coins to refill one girl's energy. In this way, you can complete additional sets of 10 conversations. But be careful! If you do not know enough correct answers, you could get as little as 80 coins after spending 100.
 * If you are successful, you can gain up to 50 extra coins for every 10 energy you accrue. This is not always best--dates are better. But if your Skill levels are not yet high enough to complete dates easily, spending the coins to refill conversations may be worthwhile.

Dates:
Dates give a base 55 coins (more with gifts), so if you can complete a date successfully, it's better than conversations. If the required score for dates is too high, consider using conversations for easy money until you can afford the skills to make dates easier.

Ads give 2x coins: If you have time after a successful date game, watch the ad at the end for a 2x coin bonus. This makes dates worth a base of 110 coins for 4 energy. More coins are available after you've earned enough diamonds to give gifts.

Gifts:
Get extra bonuses: Gifts cost diamonds, so you can't buy them often, but each gift causes the recipient girl to grant bonus coins on dates and on talks.


 * Save all your diamonds for gifts, don't use them to extend dates! You need the diamonds more than the energy.
 * Wait for sales! The game does 50% discount sales fairly regularly so far. This will save you lots of diamonds.
 * Check your quests. There's often a quest to give a girl a gift. This is a double-bonus; you get a reward for the quest, plus you unlock a permanent extra coin bonus from the girl.

Winning Dates
This is the main part of the game; you play a connect-3-or-more type of game, and must complete a certain number of points within a limited number of moves. Most negative reviews on the app store are from players that do not realize the mechanics; it seems truly impossible to score 5000 points when each match only gives +6 points... Use bonus items, and focus on the priorities.

Non-relationship dates:
Priorities: Especially early in a date (with most moves remaining), focus on ways to ensure you get a great score later.


 * 1) Passion items are a bonus on regular dates!!! Match the "Lips" icons early on the date to increase the score of all future moves. I usually try to get at least +250% for the easier dates, and then +500% on the harder ones. These are mostly useless after half of your moves are gone, so get them early. They score no points, so try to also get other combinations and bonus items on the same move.
 * 2) Create bonus item combinations.You will want to clear many more than 3 items per move to get a great score. As you look for passion items to match, also take advantage of creating bonus items, but don't use them until later. Whenever possible, try to get several bonus items to activate in a single turn.
 * 3) Score favorite items. Every girl has a most and least favorite item on dates, shown clearly above the game screen. After you increase your bonuses and make bonus items, clear lots of favorite items. The least favorite items do count for points, but only combine them if that gives you more bonus items. If you have the Disco ball bonus item, focus on arranging the board so that you can use it on favorite items.

Remember, one time per game, you can watch an ad to gain a free bomb. This can replace any item on the board. Great for getting a cluster of Passion items early, or for dealing with a turn where you have only simple moves available.

One time per game, after the final move, you can watch an ad to gain +1 more move. If you're within a thousand points of winning, it might be exactly what you need. Plan ahead--sometimes it's wise to use your last move to create a bonus item, then use the add to gain one extra move to activate it!

Relationship dates:
The primary difference is that "Passion" items (lips) are regular scoring items in this mode, and they do not grant you extra point bonuses. This makes relationship dates much harder to complete. For this, spend coins!!!! Coins are the best way--you can increase the scoring value of every kind of item, and I find that +300% or more is very helpful. Continue to focus on the bonus items and favorite items as with non-relationship dates.

Also, Work on personality areas. Each girl has a set of stats that you can work towards earning, by applying items you gained from successful dates. These also make it easier to complete the relationships, so complete regular dates often!!!

Getting diamonds
A few times per day, there'll be a little movie clip icon to watch an ad and get diamonds. It's slow but steady.

Daily prizes are sometimes diamonds too.

Watch for discounts on gifts (gifts cost diamonds); also check whether you have any quests that reward giving gifts before you use your diamonds!
