Before ... I got confusion between dating and courting
thinking they’re just one. As I go browsing and reading and analyzing and understanding
about this topic, I’d found out and realized that... Yeah right they were
related with each other but they’re having those specifically distinguishing
differences.
What is dating?
It’s a “getting
to know each other” stage. It’s the first step in terms of building up a
relationship between opposite sex. It starts when a person specifically a guy
get attracted to a girl. The possibility to push through it by constant
communication and hanging out together, get them involved in dating. Dating
develops mutual interest forming a relationship. Dating means relationship. It’s
not literally to be labelled as it is to be... still, it’s a matter of what’s
within. Relationships may either be intimate or sexual. It’s intimate when it
involves constant and mutual understanding. It’s sexual when it’s more of physical
with no emotional attachment. Meaning, it’s kinda...relationships for trial???
(Think,think) I guess...if it works out or not. It may either be short or long
(but not too long) term.
What is courting?
The
term courting usually misinterpreted to be same as dating. No, it’s not.
Courting is a “settling down” stage. It comes after dating that grows in deeper
and mature relationship, in a more serious type and stable form of
relationship. It’s a continuous dating leading to engagement wherein the guys
works out for the possibility of marrying a girl. Both parties talk not just
for themselves individually, but themselves as one having one goal for their
future. It’s building a wider relationship where a guy goes over in knowing and
pleasing more of a girl’s circle of family and relatives. Courting is where
real love blooms with acceptance and respect. It’s a relationship in a
long-run.
