Apparently the way to romance companions is to…

Leave them in camp?? I’m on my second playthrough and this happened on my first too. I left Gale in camp for most of act 1 and 2 because I was playing a wizard and he romances me? Like bro do u even know me like that?? Lol

Second playthrough I leave Lae’zel in camp bc I’m playing an eldritch knight, and she romances me too?? What is happening? (Also I damn near cried at the sunrise scene, I am a softie)
