The terms @Topic all connote the same thing, depending on perspective.

The three are very different but often misused. I hope my explanation helps though:

Dating: The term "date" means "to have a romantic engagement with somebody". Hence, when people say they are "dating", they tend to mean that they are in a relationship but the word is awfully misapplied. A date involves outing and that someone says "sorry, I'm going out with someone", they think it to be dating as well, whereas it means they have a sound relationship which they are okay with. Therefore, it is wrong to describe our relationship or partner as 'someone we're dating'.


Boyfriend/Girlfriend: This best describes our relationship. The term 'boyfriend/girlfriend' means 'a man/lady with whom somebody has a romantic or sexual relationship'. The term is also considered to be the 'unofficial' term for courting.

Courtship: This term simply means the 'prelude to marriage'. The courtship period is the official term to describing the boyfriend/girlfriend relation. When someone courts, it means the person engages in a relationship shortly before marriage. Hence, the man is no longer regarded a boyfriend but a fiancé, and the girl is no longer a girlfriend but fiancée. And this process takes place before marriage, of course.

The BF/GF cum courtship thing starts before marriage. But the major thing is that one is considered to be more 'serious' than the other, and I'm sure you know which. The 'date' thing is way off. It has no similarity with the two; the only slight thing to note is that people who are courting and those in a romantic relationship, such as the BF and the GF thing can be said to 'date' when they have a romantic meeting somewhere. I do hope you understand.
