@cherry I don't have any experience in writing romance (the only genre I ever done was sci-fi), but as a reader I enjoy stories in which romantic love isn't the only thing that's going on. Maybe give your character some solid problem unrelated to their love life and make romance the part of the narrative later in the story? It can still be the main plot, but you'll have some opportunities to make readers invested in your characters. This way when you'll start more "feelings heavy" part of the story it'll be more realistic, it won't be just a rushed love story of some random people. And go easy on the descriptions of characters looks, it's often overdone in fiction.
Edit: You know, being relatable isn't always necessary in writing. Your work will represents your way of thinking, it's impossible to make it relatable to every reader.
