How does teen dating start?The question has many answers. However, the primary answer is the attraction between the opposite genders. For now, we are not considering the same-sex attraction as it has a completely different set of impacts, reason, and the outcome. Boys and girls grow up together as friends. At the start, there will be no attraction except the friendship and respect. With age and hormone growth, things start to change. The attraction may be mutual or one-sided. If it is one sided, then the person who is dominating the relationship usually makes the move and comes up with the results. With drug abuse and alcohol, the relationship crosses all the limits. These little boys and girls will start to lose their innocence. They start to like each other for completely different reasons. Even dating starts if the boy or girl is popular. Few conversations will turn into feelings. Then these feelings give rise to the relationship and eventually they start to reach each other.

Like the cheerleader or the beauty queen of the school dating the top football player of the school.
3. One-sided and forced attractionThere are two types it. One is one-sided love with no outcome and another one is one-sided love with the forced outcome. Second, this can be very dangerous. Here, one teen will force the other teen into liking him or her. It is not mutual. If it is just because of the fear. Once this kicks in, then you will see only verbal and physical abuse.
