From the Paper:
"An interpersonal relationship begins with two or more individuals coming together who share certain ideas thoughts, or beliefs. There appears to be some form of attraction when forming these relationships that begins before the relationship develops. High school students may share interpersonal relationships by forming some form of intimacy with others within their group, and this may be the beginning of an interpersonal relationship (Fiske, 2010). Relationships are formed by businesses that promote selling a product to the public for profit and need. These businesses learn to trust each other and work together toward mutual benefit (Mowat, 2010). When reviewing the different types of interpersonal relationships and how they are formed, perhaps the most interesting aspect is attraction."Attraction is necessary if an interpersonal relationship is to be formed. This is a personal choice and can occur within the work environment, school, or place of worship. The meeting may lead to casual conversation and progress to attending shared social events like having dinner or going to a movie (Fiske, 2010). As the relationship develops, other factors emerge that determine whether or not the individuals continue their relationship. As the relationship continues, the couple may form an intimate bond."
