: Re: How do I slowly get two characters to fall for each other? I know many stories have characters unexpectedly fall in love, so how can I do the same? In some stories it's quite obvious, like
How to do it right is a million dollar question.
I'm not very much into romantic novels or movies, but I've seen so many times how the author is trying to introduce some artificial obstacles for the two characters that are pretty obviously are meant for each other. So, the story, at best, typically becomes the story of how one character falls for another and slowly wins her/his heart, and at worst, a collection of romantic cliches.
But this is not what you want to do, right?
The right way to do it, I think, is making things obscure at first, so that neither your characters, nor reader knows where this is going. A good example I may point to is a movie "As Good as It Gets". It is entertaining throughout, and we have no idea at first that the movie would end up being romantic, with Jack Nicholson's and Helen Hunt's characters falling for each other.
