Depends on the initial interactions as to how the subsequent stages go. But there must be some attraction - either in personality (bright smile, chatty, laughs at jokes, etc) or in appearance/looks. And the progressive stages build upon others after that.
Personality or appearance must be there to get me to engage at all. Then personality and appearance must both be there to continue to engage (ask for her # or on date). Then intelligence must be enough to add to personality and appearance to get a second date/interaction. If she can't hold up a convo, i won't waste time engaging with her after that.
More and more things must begin to match up, in order to keep the relationship active.
There isn't any set order, just as they come up in the relationship, based on interactions. But any time something doesn't "fit" an expectation you must evaluate its importance on the greater scale....is it a deal breaker, or not?!
