In my eyes there is a difference. smile2

Dating: maybe exclusive -- maybe not exclusive. There are a myriad of levels in defining the seriousness of a dating relationship. Unfortunately, too many people are not on the same page with one another.

Courting: A beautifully traditional word that still has profound meaning to me. Courting is an honest, significant relationship bound for marriage; exclusivity at its purest form.

Courting has more of the meaning of trying to win a girl over, more like pursuit.

Dating is just going out.

Courting was a medieval tradition some nutty royal chick came up with. It's where our ideas about romance come from.

Basically it was a bunch of rules about how men should kiss women's butts if they wanted to get sex. It was NOT practiced between a husband and wife. But, was practiced when they cheated. Everything had to be very discreet. Reputations depended on it.

If the 3 of us did it, we could still call it courting in Utah, right Ladylid?
