The first stage of an intimate relationship is becoming aware of ones attraction to the other person and observing that person without interacting, this is called the pre-interaction awareness stage.
The initiation stage is when you first connect with the person by asking and answering personal questions.
Next is the exploration stage that involves more in depth interactions. Then comes the intensification stage in which partners begin to rely on each other for conformation. More intimacy and time spent together. Last is the intimacy stage where they show highly personalized and synchronized verbal and non verbal communitcation.
