So peoples, do you believe in the whole idea about courting a girl and getting to know her well before starting a relationship?

For me, i certainly believe in courting as it gives the two a chance to spend some time together and get to know one another better and see whether they both have feelings for one another before anything else happens.

I wouldn't want to jump into a relationship with a girl straight away unless i spend time with her and get to know her more and show her that i want to be with her and that i like her. I hear how guys don't like it how girls play hard to get but i don't mind because if a guy likes a girl , he has to work for it, work for her respect, acceptance as a friend and then a lover, and pursue her.

...courting?? Isn't that from like.. 14th century? Could you be a bit more specific? What do you mean by courting? Like just being friends...? Because that could just get you trapped in the friend zone.

I kinda like the idea. If I ever get married and have kids with a girl, I want to know that if our kids ever ask how their mommy and daddy met, it won't be a situation where we have to say, "Daddy came up to Mommy at the club and was like, "Hey baby, you got a nice fat butt, I want to be all over that." It would be nice if it was kind of romantic, especially so the girl knows that she was always special to me.

You meant getting to know more about the girl before doing anything right? Yeah, I agree with it. But one night stands won't hurt either.

I believe it should be like this. This way you can see if the two of you can be more than just friends before things get sticky

[plegend2007]

It should be like that, but it doesn't happen as much nowadays.

[한스 ㅋㅋ]

I don't think anyone just wants to jump into a relationship straight away without getting to know each other first...
That would be so awkward..

[missxsmiles]

Wait, what?

You speak of male courting then move onto explain that you believe a couple should get to know each other before starting a relationship. I certainly agree with that but what does that have to do with male courting? Are you using the term courting synonymously to dating?

Courting..
It's called flirting now. -o-

My boyfriend and I went on a few dates and talked quite a bit before he asked me to be his girlfriend. Just jumping into a relationship makes no sense to me. You should see if you like hanging out together and how they handle things. For example, on our first date, I picked the aquarium and it ended up being a disaster. Traffic was awful, it cost $8 just to park and then $10 for each ticket, the place was packed, and even then it lasted less than an hour. I felt like such a failure but he just laughed it off and we ended up doing other fun things around town. It was nice too see how he reacted when things didn't go so smoothly.

I think it's a nice thing to do, and I think girls can do it too, especially if they want to win over the guy.
You get to know the person before anything else, and what's sweeter than knowing someone well? :]

dating before relationship so you know what you are getting into lol

[ny-sw / ny_sw.]

o___o I thought that was how things should be. Ahaha, I wanna be courted, it's cute and you don't take the relationship for granted.

[mekka]

How old are you? 50! "Court" that is so darkages, yes, I think you should get to know that person comfortable before embarking on a relationship, if you rush into it you may end up not likeing anything about her, take your time to get to know him or her.

Oooh! Good topic. There's a book I'm reading right now called "boy meets girl" by joshua harris. it talks about courting rather than dating in a Christian perspective. not so much the traditional, olden days kinda way.

Lol courting is like wooing the girl. In other words sweeping her off her feet and into your arms

yeah like as in spending time with the girl and hanging out but not establishing the whole girlfriend/boyfriend thing yet

[myxo]

Don't people normally do that already? I thought it was the norm to get to know someone before starting a relationship with that person?
I jumped into a relationship with my ex right away after meeting him. Not the best thing since the person he was when we met ended up not being who he really was at all.

[sixth.]

yes i believe in courting/dating
it just makes me feel like the guy is that much more interested.
all my relationships started that way (:

Courting's fine.
Just not if you're going to court the girl for over 3 months.
