Only the abstract of the study is available online for free but i managed to get access to the whole pdf
The participants of the study were initially 14-17 years old and were later assessed at 23-25 (so not too far from a whole decade). They controlled for personality and it didn't seem like different personality types affected the results of the study
Here's the abstract below but tl;dr teen love improves romantic and social competence for a whole decade. Teen love can make or break you. Or I guess you could say that the lack of teen love makes you an even bigger loser.
Some screencaps of the results discussion.
The important part is that having negative experiences during teen dating had a negative impact (duh). But here's the interesting part: the positive effects were mogging the negative effects. In other words teen love is more impactful than bad teenage dating experiences.
Then some speculations as to why those positive effects are even a thing
