A questionnaire sent to college students asked for data on (1) courtship difficulties, (2) growth patterns in courtship experience, (3) conflict and confusion in love affairs, and (4) the breaking of love affairs as a bereavement experience. In general, mothers approved the beginning of dating more than fathers. Students revealed difficulty in establishing friendships with the opposite sex. Later affairs are increasingly significant for males who feel the double burden of mate-finding and mate-supporting. Some evidence of conflict and confusion appears. Girls showed a marked tendency to report themselves in the conventional role of being sought after. In about half the cases little or no heartache followed breaking off the affair
