Do you like clingy teen romance or decent, slow adult romance?

Fast adult romance.

The characters meet on Tinder, and speedrun from dating to marriage.

This sounds absurd, but I had a college professor that started dating, and married his wife within 4 months...

I've known girls who have met and married their husbands within 14 weeks. My old roommate met her husband end of May and by mid-August they were married.

The one I find best is when a slow adult romance incorporates some of the cutesy stuff that is usually found in teen romance.

The cheesy goodness is real.

Have I answered this thread yet? I don't think I did so... Slow burn adult romance all the way. I always very much loved the slow getting to know each other, being interested in one another and slowly connecting over time, the more I can appreciate the fully matured relationship because I witnessed the relationship really happen over time. That's how I do approach my own story as well.

Teenie love is a different genre for me lol First relationship, first kiss and so on. I might be a little bit old for this one now. Since teenie years I have read so many mangas where outta no where people were hooking up with no apparent reason and it really made me feel like a very rushed and shallow thing, but there is always going to be a fanbase for both of those

Why did I identify so much with a single phrase? 🤣🤣🤣

What makes the teen one’s clingy?

This was 10+ years ago when I knew these girls so I don't know how common it is anymore. In my community a lot of guys are refusing to date because they don't want to be labeled as "creepy" or are too scared of a woman just living her best life to ask her out on a date.

But overall, I do think the media has a big play in those super young marriages (I know if makes me sound old too) YA/NA romances paint kids in these serious relationships and one of the biggest "steps" a couple can take to show their devotion and fix their relationship issues in the media is marriage.

Op’s strong opinions, mostly.

Interesting, I never heard of that among the guys in my generation, and the younger folks (Gen Z) so it's probably a cultural thing (I'm not American or European like most folks here)

About your media point, you're absolutely right, social media doesn't help either lol.

Don't know, to me both situations sounds like accidental pregnancy and family hurrying them to marry to keep face (but that may be eastern European, deeply catholic country speaking...)

I live in a country where most families (even the deeply religious ones) don't care much, if at all, about kids outside of marriage, but you could be onto something in most other countries, including the person I quoted before.

"keeping face" sounds to me like an alien concept that I only see in kdramas lmao.

Trainwreck teen drama all day.
