Getting to know someone before starting a romantic relationship
A romantic relationship begins after two people have had time to know each other through a shared activity, community, or trusted introduction rather than starting with an explicitly romantic date. This gradual beginning can make it easier to discover attraction and compatibility without immediate pressure.
