Personally I think courtship is a beautiful thing. I wish courting was the norm now days it's all ugly and crazy I don't like dating I believe if you plan on going on a date it's because you have marriage in mind. I mean I have friends at church that are in courtship but outsider just don't take dating seriously.
Courtship can work, it can be beneficial and romantic but the trouble is you would often be swimming against the waves as this isn’t in keeping with current times.
Some woman would also view this as old fashioned and also not want to be seen as a prise.
Courtship by my interpretation means building a romantic connection leading to possible marriage. If you came with this approach many attractive young women these days would simply “go off of you”…
Many young women want NOT to find a husbands, what they want is a hot guy who is desired by many to claim as theirs, they given in to their sexual needs get emotionally attached and then seek to make the sex machine they have all created loyal and romantic.
The pool of young attractive women that are respected by their male peers is shrinking by the day along with the slightly larger poor of average looking women.
The pool for less fortunate looking or the least desired is also slightly on the decline but this is at a much slower rate.
If that were true, then why will no guy come and take me away from my toxic ass familial situation? Why do I have to do EVERYTHING by myself? I've known people in the past who just went to go talk to some dude online, he came and picked them up, they got married, had kids, etc and the girl did not have to do shit.
Or some girls meet a dude irl who just takes them away and takes care of them. So why can I not get that? I'm stuck here having to suffer and grovel trying my best to do what I can do with the seldom help I get while these other girls out here get to be taken out of hard situations and given the princess treatment.
If I pull myself out of this situation, then will I really even need friends or a husband? Just all fucking croc shit. This just goes to show that no guy has ever loved me enough to want to take me away from this bs and wanted to give me a good life.
Every time I do meet a guy, he always wants me to come see him. So tired of that crap. Why do I always have to be the one to visit? I don't have money or even a driver's license. Are you guys deaf? Are you blind? How do they expect me to see them with nothing? Just come see me, especially when you have the damn money, transportation and a job. God.
Yes 🙌. I’m old school. I believe in courtship still. That’s the getting to know each other phase and the butterflies 🦋 and warm fuzzy feelings building. That’s the best part! The can’t wait to see each other, the mini heart attacks 🤣, the about to pass out 🫠, the sweaty 🥵 cold chills down the spine, the can’t catch my tongue, frog in my throat, the about to vomit 🤮 feelings whenever you see that special person. 🥰 😍 Why would you wanna miss that?
u There are people who do not have marriage as their goal and if a female and male share that perspective and are honest with each other, there is nothing wrong with them dating each other. But most of us do want to find a partner for the long term and I believe in old fashioned dating/courtship.

Yes, but marriage... not so much. At least not "legal" marriage. I believe in a "spiritual" marriage. The legal system facilities and incentivices divorce.
I'll marry someone under my God Christ, Jesus and his father, but I won't have my wife be tempted by the corruption that is our government which is ran by man.
Courtship is the best way to do it. I courted the woman I am with now for a year before we married. Went to her house with gifts and asked her father for permission. Rarely is it ever done like that nowadays but it made our union much stronger because of it.
I used to when I was younger. It was still fairly normal normal when I was in my teens and early 20’s. Something happened around 2015 and everything seemingly changed overnight. Everyone became self absorbed, narcissistic, disloyal and acceptant of anything and everything immoral and unethical. I thought it was me, but I eventually realized I was just born in the wrong generation.
I've always thought of the words as synonyms.
Maybe "courtship" implies a more virginal "dating" experience, but I essentially think that just because sexual mores have changed, that doesn't change the fundamental human nature of wanting to connect romantically.
I do believe that even that most dysfunctional, lustful, sex maniacs more or less think of "dating" as a precursor for marriage, even if they themselves don't think they'll ever actually "settle down".
We already have a word for when people are just having sex without even considering the idea of falling in love and entering a life life long monogamous covenant. It's called "hooking up" or "casual sex". So why the need to impose that meaning on "dating"?
I just don't get it, it seems that "courtship" and "dating" are the same thing.
For the most part I don't think courtship really exists today, at least not the way it did in the past. It's all about online dating now and women are expected to pursue men just like men pursue women. It breaks my heart because I talk with my grandma and mom about how it was for them and I want to be courted like they were. I want men to look at me the way they did back then. It was so much more romantic back then, more about having innocent fun without expectations and then finding the right man in the process. Today it's all about expectations of causal sex and instant gratification. Ugh!
Let's be clear about what courtship is... it is a man courting a woman, which means the woman being "the prize" and the man treating her as if she is special. Women today are no longer special. As a whole, the female gender has worked very hard to NOT be special, and as such they have lost the right to be treated as special.
You can't say you oppose traditional gender roles, except for the ones that benefit you.
Welcome to the world of gender equality. Women have made their bed and now they must sleep in it.
I would love that. I had that mindset when I was younger but unfortunately didn't come across a man that was familiar with the concept. So I came to the conclusion that it must be outdated. Single and starting over, I'd rather take that approach.
Call me old-fashioned, but I still can appreciate getting to know each other first! If you are observant, you can learn quite a bit about how someone will be able to relate to you - whether for a month or a lifetime- simply be watching and listening to how they act when they are around you.
Courtship and dating are basically the same thing, except dating can be serious or not serious. Courtship is always serious.
I can do courtship as long as I know the woman is attracted to me and most importantly respects me. I am not going to waste all that time, energy and hope just to have her fall in love with some other asshole and then try to friéndzone me. I’ve had that happen twice when I was younger and it was absolutely horrible.
Avoid dating at all costs especially as a man, because it only drains your wallet and time as well. Harvard studies have shown that 80% of all divorces are filed by women and about 60-65% of those women have cited the reason for divorce being financial. It just proves my point that women don't take their vowels as seriously as men. For richer or poorer, but hopefully richer because money and power are what attracts women in the first place.
Courting like a gentleman is never outdated. Its a beautiful part of life
As with all things that are entirely one-sided, courtship is a gross imbalance. It had to go away. Only weak, foolish men are still subscribed to such a ridiculous methodology.
This is always such an odd question. I Always believed it should be directly at men. I mean who wouldn't want someone to spend their time energy and resources on the w/o having to reciprocate anything?
Of course I believe in courtship! How else could I stand a chance with @Pinay_ako?
I wish courtship was still a thing these days. Dating looks like a mess right now. I feel so bad for people just aging into adult life where dating is (or at least used to be) the next step.
No, I don't want to suck up to you to have the "honor" of being in a relationship with you. Guess all that talk of equality was total BS...
Yes I believe in it 100%. That's what makes you become friends that's what makes you have a bond that's what teaches you about each other I say yes
Sure, but it has to be a mutual effort. Nowadays it's just simp men running after girls who are too wrapped up in the phones, social media, and careers to notice.
Just because someone wants to go on a date and get to know someone better doesn't mean that they want to enter in a lifelong relationship/marriage. How could you even make that determination without getting to know them first via going on dates?
