A survey that assessed dating behavior and dating problems was administered to 90 male and 105 female students at a large American university. Data were analyzed in terms of differences in college class, sex, and dating frequency. There were few differences in reported behaviors or problems across college class. In contrast, there were substantial differences between male and female students and between high‐ and low‐frequency daters. The results were discussed in terms of current literature and recommendations for future research.
