Objective: Prior research identified 4 distinct dating trajectories from 6th to 12th grade: "Low," "Increasing," "High Middle School," and "Frequent." The purpose of this study was to examine whether 10th graders in the "Low" dating group differed on emotional, interpersonal, and adaptive skills from youth in the other trajectories. Methods: The sample consisted of 594 10th graders. We compared the 4 dating groups using teacher ratings (social skills, leadership, depression) and student self-reports (positive relationships with friends, at home, and at school; depression, suicidal ideation). To compare scores by dating trajectory, we used chi-square test and analysis of variance. Results: Students in the "Low" dating group had significantly higher teacher ratings of social skills and leadership, and lower ratings of depression compared to the other groups. Self-reports of positive relationships did not differ by dating groups. Self-reported depression was significantly lower in the "Low" dating group, but suicidal ideations did not differ. Conclusion: Adolescents who were not in a romantic relationship had good social skills and low depression, and fared better or equal to peers who dated. These results refute the notion that non-daters are maladjusted. Health promotion interventions in schools should include non-dating as one option of healthy development.
