I 100% get that.
It gets better as you get more and more cards and you start building a mental timeline of how their relationship is evolving, but even more than that, when you get used to the fact that the main story in the point of timeline you're in now won't get more than flirting with a certain LI, and instead you have to rely on the individual cards to build the romantic relationship. This doesn't mean that all the cards happen after the main story, in fact there are many that fit right in between chapters (especially since we get a 6 months gap between the explosion at grandma's and us moving to the N109 zone), but the main story is like when you're in public and PDA is not appropriate.
And of course we have to consider how long MC has known any of these guys.
Zayne = 1 year since they met again after something like 15 years of radio silence
Xavier and Raf = little more than 6 months (since she became a hunter) but she's seeing Xav more often because they're neighbors and hunter partners, and Raf has his reasons for being distant
Caleb = all her life but he's been brozoned and now he's presumed dead
