You’ll need to develop your friendship with your companion if you want them to fall in love with you. This is where having high Charisma stats will be beneficial. The more time you spend with the companion, the more options you’ll have to flirt with them.
Romancing each companion will be different depending on their personality. You’ll have to do things to get on their good side. For example, Garvey likes it when you help people out, but hates you if you ask them for money for doing them a favor. Piper likes it when you pick locks, but dislikes it when you give chems to junkies.
The game will tell you if your companion approves of your actions. You’ll be able to romance your companion once you’ve reached the highest level in relationship. Another benefit of catering to your companion’s likes is at the highest level you’ll unlock their Perk.
The other benefit you get from being in a romantic relationship is the “Lover’s Embrace” from going to sleep with your companion. You’ll earn a 15 percent XP bonus for a limited time once you wake up.
However, there isn’t really a big romance scene once your companion admits their feelings to you. They don’t kiss or hug or show any physical affection. There are no sex scenes in Fallout 4, but you can “sleep” with a lounge singer named Magnolia. You can’t get married in Fallout 4, but you can attend Curie’s wedding if you help her out.
