By chatting and giving the right gifts to someone, the player can eventually begin to date them and even marry their partner. Those interested in bold and athletic men should speak to Alex, who lives at 1 River Road. Learning his daily rituals and what he likes can put one in his good books for romantic possibilities.
Since Stardew Valley is a game all about gradual progression, the general vibe of the gameplay and story lend themselves well to dating simulation. After one gets married, things become cozier, though, one will have to interact with their spouse regularly, so be sure to pick someone who is interesting.
With every NPC villager having a different schedule, it can be tough to keep track of everyone's comings and goings. Thankfully, Alex is a pretty predictable fellow and can often be found in or around his house at 1 River Road. Though, he also enjoys trips to the beach and to the Spa, so players who find themselves drawn to such locations will be well suited to interacting with Alex.
