Document Summary
Love relationships among american adolescents tend to follow a developmental sequence of four steps: Adolescence n same-gender groups go to places where they hope to find other-gender groups. Adolescents take part in social gatherings arranged by adults, such as parties. Mixed-gender groups arrange to go to some particular event together, such as a movie. Adolescent couples begin to date as pairs in activities such as movies, dinners, concerts, and so on. Recall differences in your relationships as an adolescent and emerging adult. Learning: becoming more skilled at dating interactions. Impressing other according to how often and whom one dates. Companionship: sharing pleasurable activities with another person. Intimacy: establishing a close emotional relationship with another person. Courtship: seeking someone to have as a steady partner. Romantic relationships tend to change as adolescents enter emerging adulthood. What quality do emerging adults look for? (remember to differentiate between males and females: more intimacy.
