To use another analogy, dating is like a comma, whereas courting is like a period. This means that dating presents a man and woman with a number of potential ends to their relationship, whereas courting has only one: marriage. Dating people view the relationship through a temporal lens.

What is courting in a relationship?

Courtship is the slow, systematic process of pursuing the other person. Its the romance of long and intimate conversations (as well as time) spent with a person before you decide to let them in. Its the idea of being intimate friends with someone before becoming an intimate lover.
