in this age of instant cash, instant noodles and mail-to-order brides, do you still believe in courtship?

Yes, I still do. Call me old fashioned but I just really want to be swept off my feet. I believe that I guy should earn my love and respect and try to put his best foot forward.

No, I don't believe in courtship anymore. I used to think it was sweet when I watch "old" Filipino movies and other movies with courtship and I thought guys would never take for granted girls whom they "work" hard for but as I time flies and with my own experience, courtship doesn't work anymore. It's getting to know each other now. In courtship, guys tend to have their best foot forward until they bacome officially a couple and that will turn into something different than what he made you see.

Although like you I am an avid fan of instant things. I still believe that courtship is a necessary thing for a couple to really know each other. It is for your protection as a woman to have yourself wooed and you be given the chance to choose the best partner you dream.

A whooping yes! I may consider myself a modern woman and mother but I still believe in courtship. Courtship should not stop when one gets married. To keep the romance and spark going, husbands should continue to woo their beloved wife.

i do believe in courtship but i dont know how exactly to do it. courtship shows the sincerity of the man and in this a girl can experience all the good and sweet things a man can offer. how exactly to do it?? that is something that i really dont know.. i know how to love but dont know much how to express it.

Yes I still believe in courtship, I guess it has alot to do with how my parents raised me. It's the key to getting to know that other person. I think that even in this date of time that courtship has just been upgraded. They might do what is known as virtual dating. SO things have really changed. But alot of people still believe in it.

well i do believe courtship is a must as it allows you the opportunity of getting to know the other person very well. Without it there might be problems arising from not having a good knowledge about your partner which could lead to problems

Courtship? yes I still believe that courtship is the foundation to a strong marriage. It is a time to determine your compatibality to the person who will share your life. After going through courtships we graduate to understand that we have to meet a long list of wrong guys before finding Mr so-so-so perfect for me. So do away with that instant marriage otherwise you'll end up with instant divorce.

Of course I do...I still go for the old-fashioned courtship of boy pursuing girl for days or weeks. I am not for instant relationships just like instant coffees, etc. But these are happening these days. We have noted mail-order-brides, instant relationships...but I still believe in the more personal, face to face type of courtship where the man visits the girl in their house; maybe get to know the girl's family, get to know each other before committing to a more serious relationship.

yah, i do still believe in courtship, i think if a guy pass all the hardship that a girl gives to him, that`s the proven that a guy really loves a girl,. Even though we are having new form of courtship, it`s better to be an-old fashioned rather than having a worst relationship.
