When the task list says 'Return to the Hut and Speak with Mai' do you need to be a certain level or talk to her at a specific time?Because when I talk with her,I just get the regular bonding scene.

There are some things that you could have possibly done out of order. For example, if you waited to breakthrough beyond the second month, it would throw your game into disarray and you'd experience many types of events out of order from that point on. (literally, about 20% of the story would be missed).
I attempted to fix all that recently, so I can only speculate that this may be part of the issue you're dealing with.
