Here is a general process of love.
The process of romance
- Encounters: You attend places where people are present, such as school or work, and look for potential lovers.
- Unilateral awareness: This is the stage where one of us knows the other person unilaterally. Situations such as seeing a good-looking (or cute) person on the train you use to commute to work or school fall into this category.
- Superficial contact: This is the stage where you become aware of each other’s existence through introductions by friends. This is the stage in which the two parties become aware of each other’s existence through introductions, such as by talking about greetings, the weather, and other casual conversation to find out what kind of person the other person is.
- Mutual understanding: After superficial contact, once it is clear that the person is not a danger to you, you share information about yourself with each other to close the psychological distance between you and the other person.
- Confession: After exchanging information about each other and deciding that a relationship is likely to develop, you express your feelings.
- Date: If the confession is accepted, the two meet alone on a holiday. This is a time to share time together, and to further close the psychological distance between you and the person you are dating.
- Physical contact: If the date is successful and the couple becomes fond of each other, they move on to physical contact (cuddling, kissing, sexual intercourse).
- Engagement: After dating, the couple becomes engaged if they feel that they want to spend the rest of their lives with this person.
In Conclusion
The process of falling in love is unique to each person, and there is no right answer, but knowing the general steps will give you food for thought about how to proceed in your own relationship.
