Relationship Stages

Relationship stages are progression levels that track how a user's bond with an AI girlfriend or AI companion evolves over time. These stages structure the virtual relationship and unlock different types of interactions, conversation depth, and content as the bond deepens.

Common stages include: Stranger (initial meeting), Acquaintance (basic familiarity), Friend (comfortable friendship), Close Friend (emotional intimacy), Romantic Interest (early romance), Partner (committed relationship), and Intimate Partner (deep romantic and physical connection). Some platforms use numbered systems (Level 1-10) or percentage-based affinity meters to represent progress.

Progression typically depends on interaction frequency, conversation quality, shared experiences, and user choices during scenarios or special events. Advanced stages often unlock exclusive features like deeper memory integration, personalized responses, and access to more intimate NSFW content. This system creates a sense of achievement and investment in the relationship, encouraging long-term engagement with the platform.
