Hello Steve!
You would never say 'stroke up...'.
As some of the comments suggest, you could say 'struck up a conversation...'. You probably could say 'struck up a relationship..', but it doesn't really sound that natural. You could also say the following: I 'started/began/kindled/ a relationship...'
Hope this helps you out!

"Strike up a relationship" makes sense to me. The past tense of strike is struck not stroke, so it should be "I struck up a relationship with her".

I normally hear "strike up" used to describe starting a conversation. For example:
"While checking out at the grocery store, I struck up a conversation with the clerk."
Hope that helps! :)

I haven't seen this expression before, but you could say " We began to hang out" or "to date". "we started seeing each other" or "I began to see her more often"
