The current research aims to present a typology of relationships with the opposite sex among young girls. The research was conducted using qualitative methods and grounded theory in addition to applying Semi-Structure and Interactive Interview techniques. The population consists of young girls aged 19-30 who live in the city of Kermanshah. Using purposive and theoretical sampling, 48 girls, who were involved in these types of relationships, were interviewed. Results of the study revealed six types of relationship with the opposite sex among girls including: pure relationship, relationships of convenience, passionate relationship, Marriage-oriented relationship, instrumental relationships and liquid relationship. According to the findings, all types of relationships (other than pure relationship) have been influenced by postmodern discourse with features such as: fluidity, fragility, temporality, lack of commitment and pluralism in friendship. Pure relationship is also influenced by the modern discourse with features such as: commitment and emotional attachment, love, sex and non-instrumental approach to the relationship.
