A survey shows that 33.6% of couples develop the idea of marriage naturally, meaning that roughly one in three people "don't know why they want to get married." At the same time, many people also become couples without ever confessing their feelings.
1. Both parties had feelings for each other.
"The other person also sensed my feelings. When we were on a date, they held my hand tightly, and I felt like we were already in a romantic relationship."
This is often how relationships develop without a confession. If both parties have feelings for each other, they can sense it without saying it. There's no need for a courageous confession; perhaps a hand-holding, a hug, or a kiss is enough for them to confirm their feelings and officially become a couple. Even without a confession, pay close attention to the other person's words and actions to discern their true feelings.
2. It became a point where we had to contact each other every day.
"That was when I was in my early twenties. My friend introduced me to him, and we texted each other every day. It was the first time I had contacted a woman so frequently, and I was so happy I felt like I was floating on air. Then we gradually got used to each other and that's how we became lovers."
Even if you don't have any feelings for each other at first, if the other person treats you gently or you realize they like you, your relationship can progress rapidly and you can become lovers. Even if neither of you has much dating experience and there's no romantic confession, you can still sense that you're dating. Communication is essential for developing a relationship, so don't neglect communication with someone you like; make sure to stay in touch often.
3. People around you say, "You two are a good match."
“From the first time we met, we felt that we had feelings for each other. Then one day, at a party, people joked that we were a good match and should start dating. So we actually started dating.”
Even if they're not in a romantic relationship yet, it's hard for either of them to ignore the comments from those around them saying, "You two seem like a good match." Sometimes, the man will tell the woman about it himself, and if the woman readily agrees, the distance between them can be greatly shortened, and the relationship can progress rapidly.
4. It crossed the line of ordinary friendship.
"You don't need a man to blush and confess to become lovers. Many times, it's the woman who realizes the other person's feelings and that's how we get together. My girlfriend and I were originally very good friends, but after she allowed me to be intimate with her once, we developed feelings for each other like lovers."
Many couples now develop relationships from sexual partners, or marry because of pregnancy, and society's attitude towards sex is more open. If a man and woman engage in intimate acts that are traditionally considered only for lovers, they are naturally perceived as being in a romantic relationship. However, women should still be cautious to avoid being taken advantage of by men who only want to play with their feelings and then be irresponsible.
These days, there are quite a few couples who get together without going through the traditional confession process. If a woman insists on using confession as a ritual to confirm someone's feelings for her, she might miss out on the person she likes. If she senses even the slightest bit of affection from someone she likes, she should seize the opportunity to develop the relationship and try to become lovers as soon as possible.
