Yes! It seems that many restaurants are offering discounts and other incentives to groups of two for "Coiled Hearts" or "Valentinian."

As I understand it, going on a date is essentially the same as hanging out normally, so there is no need to do anything in particular. The primary distinction is that the following are somewhat more likely on a date: one party traveling to the other's home to pick them up (rather than meeting at the venue); one party presenting the other with a small gift; and both parties making out with one another after the date's conclusion. But none of those is actually a requirement, so there's no need to give it too much thought.

I guess that's the Lunatian version of Valentine's day, or White day

I wouldn't mind picking you up, or bringing something, but I've never really done any of this before. Have you?

[wearingguess]

"Valentine's"! That's it. You are familiar with it, then?

Well
If you mean, have I ever gone on something that was specifically intended and understood to be a date by all involved
Then no.

[numbertwohero]

Sort of. I mean it's not like I did that kind of thing back home, and I'm sure it's a little different here. Most things are.

[Hanging out with a friend, free food, what more could he want? Of course, he maybe hasn't processed the "making out" bit...]

Well, at least we're both the same...If it's basically just hanging out, I'd like that. It's easy hanging out with you. Was there some place you already picked out?

[wearingguess]

Yes, but I believe many of those observing Valentine's as opposed to Coiled Hearts are doing so because they are from worlds where they have that. So your knowledge may well be transferable!

I know of a few different places offering festival specials, so we have options! Is there anything you want to try?

[numbertwohero]

I don't know much about Coiled Hearts. What's the difference?

Mm, anything new? You know I'll eat pretty much anything. What's your favorite?

[wearingguess]

I don't know! I have never celebrated either of them. I suppose Coiled Hearts involves two hearts entwining, and that is the reason for the encouragement of pairing up...? To be honest, I haven't really looked into it much other than to see what the special offers are.

I have many favorites! Have I taken you for crab curry yet? I know of a place with amazing crab curry. Ah, and there is "Niisan's Teppanyaki," which Okumura Rin has just opened, though I know nothing of either Niisan or Teppanyaki. There is also a restaurant in level 3 with a really incredible pheasant dish. And on level 2 a very fine establishment with an excellent "antipasto board" and various types of noodles.

On the other hand, octopus-based cuisine is apparently traditional.
So, octopus, perhaps?

[numbertwohero]

I'm sure there's a book in the library about it. Since we're here, it's a good idea to learn the customs.

"Niisan" means "older brother", and teppanyaki is a type of cooking where the food is made in front of customers. You might like it, if the chef is any good

But all of that sounds great. Whatever you'd like to do, I'm happy to go with you

[wearingguess]

An excellent idea! I shall study up on it, and perhaps we can discuss the tradition's origin, significance, &c. on our date.

If you are certain you have no preference, then I am happy to decide. When shall we go? (Dates frequently but not always take place in the evening)

[numbertwohero]

That sounds really nice. If you want, I could teach you some other Japanese, too.

Evening is good. In my world Valentine's day is the 14th of February, so the 14th of second month is probably the right day...unless it's supposed to be a certain day here?

[wearingguess]

The evening of the fourteenth, then. I'll be eagerly awaiting it.
