Teen Romance Is Normal While some teens will start dating earlier than others, romantic interests are normal and healthy during adolescence. Of kids aged 13 to 17, around 35% have some experience with romantic relationships and 19% are in a relationship at any one time.

How long does a 13 year old relationship last?

Teens 13 to 15 are likely to have short-term relationships that last less than five months, Fogarty says. Young teens usually hang out with peers who are the same gender as they are. As teens reach the mid-teen years (age 14-15 years), they start having relationships with peers of the opposite sex, Fogarty adds.
