Dating was a big part of social life and, therefore, an impor- tant factor in feeling confident about yourself. ' Going out ' with different people all the time could be quite difficult in a small town, but dating several people at once, often proved to be too chal- lenging anyway. In this type of situa- tion, controlling jealousy and gossip was a main point in handling the simul- taneous relationships. Many couples went steady. This sig- nified that they dated only each other and were, supposedly, loyal to each other. This often brought problems of insecurity and jealousy since school is not the perfect place to harbor a seri- ous relationship, nor is it a great place to settle an argument. These facts are even more true because of the peers and spectators who listen, advise, and aggravate. The real key to dating as a student was to find the type and frequency of dating that suits you, and then find the right person who would share that opinion with you.
