Describe the four phases of intimacy

What will be an ideal response?


In the infatuation stage, adolescent relationships are actually not very serious because they focus more on learning
about themselves. In the status phase, adolescents date to maintain or improve their status among their peers. The
intimate phase represents a more authentic type of romance in which partners become more concerned with their
relationship and less concerned with how their peers are viewing them. In the bonding phase, romantic partners
begin to consider the issue of long-term commitment.
