Just looked on a Spanish dating website and they use 'amistad' for the term 'dating'. There are other tems to indicate 'long term' or just 'friends'.

Otra posibilidad:

los adolescentens pasan por un periodo apasionante de citas.

Also: de quedar con chicos

pasar is not a literal translation here but I believe it to be the best. I would use apasionate. Citas , James, does not need "románticas" as it is very clear from the context what we are talking about. It is, of course, possible.

I think it woldn't named "dating" when a girl go out with friends (girls too).

But the question is about dating, and that does not include going out with friends. It only refers to romantic dates by a couple (usually a boy and a girl).

Los adolescentes entran en un emocionante periodo de salir con chicas/os

That looks good except for the part mentioned above. I would suggest this change.

Los adolescentes entran en un emocionante período de citas románticas.

Also, note the accent on período.

Maybe you can say:
Los adolescentes entran en un emocionante periodo de salir con chicas/os (segun sea el caso.)

Note the correct spelling of "adolescente"

Do you mean "an exciting period"? If so, I would translate that word as "emocionante." (If you're going to use excitante, be sure to spell it correctly.) I'm not sure about "dating" -- we'll let some native speakers handle that.
