Courtship
Courtship, traditionally the wooing of a female by a male that, for example, includes activities such as
dating (
dinner and a
movie, a
picnic, or general "hanging out"), along with other forms of activity, such as meeting online (also known as
virtual dating), chatting on-line, sending
text messages or
picture messages, conversing over the
phone, writing each other
letters, and sending each other
flowers,
songs, and
gifts. Courting usually involves getting to know the family (especially the parents) of the one you are courting. Most of the time courting will be done somewhere public, to lower the chances of anything going on between the couple. Some couples who court do not even kiss until marriage.
