Hints:

     When  traveling overland, keep the minimap open (Triangle button)
to  avoid getting lost. Head for the dots that represent landmarks and
special locations.

     During  the  dating  minigames,  keep a piece of paper and pencil
handy  to jot down the sequences you're supposed to repeat. After all,
all's fair in love and war.

     Don't  squander your money on gifts for your dates until later in
the  game  when  you  can afford it. Early on, just concentrate on the
minigames and sightseeing to raise your date's mood rating.
