Courtship

[PowerON]

Have anyone? Some are ideal for couple who not actual have in relationship but spend together to know each other without show affair but sometime it's necessary when each other want to.

Girl might be know that if you, guy, like to touch her, then there is no future because you have no frickin patience

Yes, here I am...techincally.

I don't really agree with 2 parts in this meaning from wikipedia:

Courtship is the period in a couple's relationship which precedes their engagement and marriage, or establishment of an agreed relationship of a more enduring kind. In courtship, a couple get to know each other and decide if there will be an engagement or other such agreement. A courtship may be an informal and private matter between two people or may be a public affair, or a formal arrangement with family approval. Traditionally, in the case of a formal engagement, it has been perceived that it is the role of a male to actively "court" or "woo" a female, thus encouraging her interest in him and her receptiveness to a proposal of marriage. In the western world, this concept of gender roles in courtship is changing, or has changed, in many societies.

To getting to know each other? It best starts with friendship first before starting a courtship.

How can it be a courtship whereas my significant other and I already know everything, every details while we were friends before getting into committed relationship? I guess we are gone past courtship term...since it's been more than five years now.

Besides that, I believe we are in relationship: platonic committed relationship...sure there's courting partly inside that term as well.

Other part, how would the formal approval be arranged by parents if they are not around or deceased? It doesn;t make sense since some aging parents are outlived the 30s, 40s something children.

I generally understand courtship as dating without intimacy.

I was "courted" for some time, but lack of patience/curiosity lead to normal dating. In general, I do like the concept and practice of courting. However, I'm not opposed to dating though if both are on the same page.

Wonder if gender roles (ex, women do not have to be a stay at home mom), career lifestyles, life goals and so forth make compatible marriage pairing statistically more difficult now-a-days?

Indeed, that when I puzzle when I look up on wikipedia compare to the dictionary.

Both of these terms are NOT the same meaning. Be careful with these modern definitions.

Dating is too oftenly non-commitment action and ends up using you and break your heart for nothing while courting is not.

Oh, boy I hate to educate about this but everyone should know better. *stares at present parents*SMH*

Really? You don't mind to have one or more heartaches only to find out that he is not actually your trustworthy friend after all you and the guy got to know one another?
