How to romance Maru

[eve]

Maru loves gems so you will be spending a lot of time in the mines or a lot of money on ores. Some of her favorite gifts are a Diamond and gold bar, she also like iron bars, copper bars, and quarts, but not refined quarts. Once you know what she likes, give her gifts at every opportunity and talk to her, when a "cutscene" that allows you to choose what you say to her comes up, try to compliment her. Once you get to friendship 8 with her, pierre will send you a letter offering a boquet, buy one and give it to Maru, then she will be your girlfriend. Continue to give her gifts and talk to her until friendship level 10, then you can buy the mermaids amulet. It costs 5,000 coins and you must have expanded your house at least 1 time to buy it. When you are ready, visit the merchant by the tide pools on the beach (it has to be a rainy day for him to be there and you would have had to repair the bridge to get over there) buy the amulet and give it to Maru, she will accept the wedding will be set in 3 days, once married she will move in with you, continue to give her gifts and talk to her and enjoy your new life with Maru!

Leah is easier i think, some goat cheese and she is yours. Also, a wise man once said: If you want to fascinate a woman, you can give her cheese.

Edit: Yes I found your guide useful thank you.

How to romance Maru?

Strawberries. Buy and grow a ♥♥♥♥ ton of Strawberries in the first spring.

It's all you need until later, when you can give her batteries after storms.

You know Maru loves Cauliflower and Pepper Poppers too. You don't have to mine to "earn" her affections, Farming works just well as a vehicle to her heart.

As for Leah: Leah likes forage. Almost anything you pick up off the ground will be something she at least likes. If you want to win her heart, then Salads are a much more economical approach than Goat Cheese. If you can't make Salad yourself yet, Gus sells it.
