What are other ways?

[credit_guy]

Maybe getting married?

[goodpoint]

The only type of marriage that does not require constant effort is a failed marriage.

[taddevries]

Are you implying that marriage is, somehow, the end state of relationship building? I can assure you it does not end at marriage.

[thatcat]

marriage, which is presumably the intention of dating

[bluescrn]

It used to be. But people are now pushed towards the dating equivalent of 'fast fashion', hookups via apps, throwaway relationships, shopping around for something new and exciting.

[ojhughes]

Plenty of couples don’t get married and have happy lives together.

[__MatrixMan__]

I've never dated in this mode before. It's it like... an interview?
