The document discusses the concepts of "going steady," dating, and romantic love during middle school years. Going steady means exclusively dating one person without seeing others, and typically involves introducing your partner to friends. It can progress to officially labeling your partner as your boyfriend or girlfriend. Romantic love in this stage is deeper than infatuation and involves fantasy, idealization, and feeling comfortable with each other. Common dating activities during this period include giving flowers, going to restaurants, hugging, and holding hands.
