Most games tend to present an ultimatum when you try to pursue multiple romantic interests at once. So, with so many dateable characters in Date Everything, surely the game wouldn't be so harsh as to force you into picking just one?

Thankfully, it's not like that at all. You're free to fall in love with as many people as you desire—even everyone in a single playthrough if you wish. But what if you want to go even further? What if you want your partners to also love each other? That’s possible too, though it's far less common.

How Do Polyamorous Relationships Work?

In Date Everything, every character has three possible outcomes: Love, Friends, or Hate. No one is exempt from this system, although some characters may prefer friendship over romance. When it comes to polyamory, things get a bit more specific.

Polyamorous relationships can only occur between certain characters. After all, love develops through shared understanding and interests, so it makes sense that Dateables would only consider entering a relationship with someone else they already have a connection with. You can’t simply pair up any two characters you're dating. As a result, there are only a limited number of polyamorous combinations available in the game.

The way to unlock these relationships varies by pairing. Some might require completing a particular quest, while others may involve resolving existing tensions between two characters before you can join their dynamic. Just because two characters can form a polyamorous bond doesn’t mean they automatically will.

For instance, Celia and Florence can both enter into a polyamorous relationship with you—but you can also just be in separate romantic relationships with them. The key thing to remember is that if someone hates you, they won’t enter a polyamorous relationship with you. Being friends might still leave the door open, but hatred closes it completely.

Every Polyamorous Relationship

Currently, there are only a few polyamorous relationships available in the game, and no alternate variations outside those set combinations. Each character involved in such a relationship only has one possible polyamorous pairing. Below is a list of all current options and how to achieve them:

• Florence and Celia - Complete the pyramid scheme quest and choose the three-party option.
• Drysdale and Washford - Get Drysdale to apologize to Washford. You can be in a romantic relationship with both before unlocking this polyamorous path.
• Harper and Dirk - Help them resolve their differences, then become part of their relationship.

Though limited in number, these relationships do impact the game beyond just the initial unlock. For example, Celia and Florence enjoy attending Chairemi's plays together and will reference your unique relationship during conversations.
