The "relationship phase" does not refer to the relationship process which precedes a courtship. The relationship process is when you attempt to charm someone into forming a courtship with you. The relationship phase, however, is the very beginning of a new courtship itself; just after a successful relationship.
In the relationship phase, both parties maintain that fascinating charm which they used to attract their partner in the first place. The relationship phase is where most broken promises & exaggerate words are said as you are still trying to impress one another. Things like 'I've never been so attracted and blown off this way about anyone else before' or 'I think we have things in common' are said. Although these statements are made with good intentions, they are often inaccurate and are based mainly on feeling as opposed to logic.
Couples in the relationship phase also tend to be very "playful" with each other and prefer to spend every free moment together as long as they can without been distracted or interrupted. Although not every courtship passes through this relationship phase, it happens often enough. Just make sure you are beyond this point before you start taking any serious steps in the relationship.
