10 Cringiest Lines From Romance Partners In Stardew Valley

The possible romantic partners in can be genuinely sweet at times, but sometimes they miss the mark, by a lot. Now, it isn’t uncommon for romances in the game to start off a little rocky. Haley, for instance, starts by insulting the player character before getting to know them better. However, what’s far more uncomfortable is when the residents of Pelican Town try to flirt with the player, but instead just end up saying something undeniably cringe-worthy.

This isn’t true for all romances. Characters like Sam and Abigail manage to flirt with the player without making their skin crawl. Then there are characters like Shane or Harvey who seem to have a bit harder time not putting their foot directly in their mouths. Even charming characters like Leah are known to let the odd bit of awkward dialogue slip. Sometimes these quirks are endearing, but in many instances,these lines are just uncomfortable.

One of Stardew Valley's most tragic characters gets the story expansion they deserve thanks to an expansive mod that fleshes out his narrative.

On its own, this line from Emily isn’t the worst thing in the world. After all, fruit can have a very pleasant aroma, so nobody can really blame Emily for enjoying it. What makes this line uncomfortable is the setting in which it is said. Emily says this to the player at Pierre's shop, where residents come to buy food and other supplies.

When buying produce from a store, customers already have to ignore the fact that people have likely been there before them, and touched some of the fruit they are going to buy. It’s one of those things people just don’t think about. However, Emily’s admission evokes images of her walking around and sniffing all the fruit that’s out for sale. This isn’t just strange behavior, but also an uncomfortable reminder that the fruit at the store may be subjected to sniffing or other strange behaviors before being bought for consumption.

Emily's favorite gifts include Amethyst, Aquamarine, Cloth, Emerald,
