Friendship points can increase up to a maximum of 2749 (one point less than 11 hearts) for villagers whose heart meters show as 10 hearts on the Social tab.
With marriage candidates, the meter pauses at 8 hearts. It will stay that way forever unless you give the candidate a [[bouquet]] to indicate your romantic interest. If you do so, that meter is unlocked and operates as before until ten hearts is reached. It is possible to give a bouquet to any and all marriage candidates, and raise all their friendship levels to 10 hearts, without damage to your relationships with other romantic partners, so long as you have not yet proposed. (If you have proposed or are married, there is a chance your fiancé/spouse may become [[Marriage#Jealousy|jealous]].)
