My suggestion would be to focus less on the fact that it's a ~romantic relationship~, and focus more on the characters in question. How do they interact? How would that change if they admitted to loving each other/start having sex/etc -- are they characters who deal well with admitting vulnerability and opening up, or will that be hard for them? If the characters have ever been in other romantic or sexual relationships in canon (assuming this is for fan-fic, not original fic), how did they act in those? Do you know people who remind you of the characters? How do THEY act in romantic relationships? Etc. etc.

I've had my fair share of different sorts of romantic relationships, but TBH I don't generally find those experiences particularly useful when trying to write romance in fic, since I rarely end up writing about characters who are like me, or relationships that are very like my own.

In my mind, the only way a story about romance would be "inaccurate" is if it doesn't ring true to the characters. As someone above said, there's no right way to be in a relationship, anyway. Everyone's different. Every couple is different. So what makes these two (or more!) characters tic?
