Hi! I am new to the Valley and I found this post. I know it is a bit old and I understand if you don't reply but I was started dating this season and so do I have to wait till next season? Whenever I go up and give a bouquet it says we are already dating?

This is kind of how it works in My Time at Portia.

Funny thing about that game is it felt like it had no soul, for lack of a better word. Story is reasonably interesting, though progression is notably more linear than SDV. But MTaP felt like it was made by a committee whereas SDV is well-known to be made by a single Ape. That single source may account for some of the heart that SDV has which is missing from MTaP, but IMO there is a second thing:

The low-poly, caricatured, 3D full motion environment in MTaP steals your imagination from you. It's didactic, what you see is exactly what you get and the movement and character art in the game needed about 10x the amount of variety and detail that was included.

Whereas the 2D sprite and avatar style of SDV encourages you, even requires you, to use your imagination to fill in those spaces. And we all know that our imaginations are not only powerful, but also personal, so we can fill in the details which are most special to each one of us.

This is actually a mod now, "Date Night". Looks like someone saw your idea
 
I want to see this for the console versions. It sucks so much that all the PC players have these amazing mods and us console players are basically left behind. TBH, I actually prefer playing SDV on a console than the PC because the game feels so comfy and cozy. I love playing it most in bed, before I fall asleep. It's a lovely way to unwind and settle in before going to bed.
