Summary:An Arizona State University sociologist who has studied dating found that people had many questions about sex, but ranked it low among dating priorities. One reviewer wrote that [Mary Laner] ''has made dating and courtship research come alive by including what people are feeling and experiencing in their own words.'' What Laner discovered and detailed in her book came from the responses of 334 students, ages 18 to 48, enrolled in her Courtship and Marriage classes. She used the students' comments and questions as a framework for the book, which is based on three questions: What's best about dating? What's worst about dating? What one question would you like answered about male/female relationships?
