Abstract: Romantic relationship is formed through the communication between couples, including intimacy, passion and commitment. The present study reviewed the conception, romantic attachment style, behavioral system and development of adolescents’ romantic relationships. Adolescents’ romantic relationships were mainly influenced by family, peer, conflict management and culture. Current approaches of investigation on romantic relationship include self-report, interview, observation, narrative and experiment. More attention should be paid to the mechanism of romantic relationship, its relation with mentally health and the localization and cross-cultural research in the future.
