Question

I want to write a romantic scene where a boy tries to persuade a girl that he doesn't care what others think about them. They are only 12 or 13 years old, and very early in their relationship. How should I write it?

Community Answer

I would recommend a sweet (instead of steamy) scene that's still packed with emotions. Maybe in a public place or with their friends where he can verbally make a sincere statement that rattles the girl and persuades her to trust/care about him and leaves his friends speechless. A kiss would work, but I would advise a shorter kiss. Make sure to manifest all the emotions both characters are feeling.

Question

How can I describe the feeling of love at first sight in my characters' minds?

Community Answer

Be earnest about it. Describe what the love interest does to your character (inside and out). Describe how and when they met, and what their minds were like at the time. Also, describe how much they want their love interest to feel the same. It should be emotional for all parties involved.

How should I handle the romantic scene between my 15 and 17-year-old characters?

For a teenage audience, it's best to avoid making it too steamy since the characters are minors. Focus on a lighthearted romance that develops slowly, and if possible, extend the story until they are adults.
