I need mature guys and ladies to answer the question "What's the Difference Between Courtship and Dating?" to enlighten us more on nairaland let us hear your view or point on it.

I'd say they're the same thing.

Just that courtship has the highest propensity to lead to marriage.
Whilst dating is just something everyone does.

Men and women who choose to date often have no commitment to consider marrying the other person. Maturity and readiness for marriage are not considerations in the decision to date. Instead, couples usually date with the selfish goals of having fun and enjoying romantic attachments.

In contrast, courtship is undertaken only when both parties are prepared to make a commitment to marriage. In courtship, you and your partner take the time to get to know and care for each other and develop trust. You're both more vested in your relationship because of the time and effort you've put into each other. Courtship takes more courage because you have to be authentic, open, vulnerable and live without knowing the outcome. If you choose the path of courtship, you'll become clearer on what matters most to you, what's acceptable and not acceptable to you and realize your self-worth. You'll feel cherished, cared for and respected.

Courtship isn't really for long; say 6 months or so 'cause it precedes one's marriage.

Sex during courtship? Err...I doubt. The marriage is literally around the corner; there would be no point in that.

Dating is boyfriend and girlfriend


courtship is fiance and fiancee

One is formal,one is informal.

Courtship is formal,dating is informal..

I believe dating is a face between meeting a person and a relationship,when not interested u end d date,while courtship is a face between d relationship and marriage

According to ten commandment of dating, Dating and Courtship are two methods of beginning relationship with opposite sex.

However dating comes before courtship and it's a period getting to know each other differences. Courtship advocates claim that allows two people to get to know each other in a platonic setting without pressures of physical initimacy or emotion clouding their judgment(this is an advanced level of dating).

In summary, they are the same but dating comes first before courtship and courtship dont take long before marriage.

courting is meant to lead to marriage.
every youngster wants to date these days. mostly to commit fornication.

You're asking me to tell you whether or not to have sex in your relationship. That is up to you. Personally, I do not endorse it; either sex during dating or in courtship.

Thank you all for your comment, but base on what i believe i see no deference in dating and courtship they are like 5&6 before we courtship we must date and dating is a part of human mating process whereby two people meet socially for companionship, beyond the level of friendship, or with the aim of each assessing the other's suitability as a partner in an intimate relationship or marriage. It can be a form of courtship consisting of social activities done by the couple, while courtship is a period during which a couple develop a romantic relationship before getting married. So can anyone explain while love affaire won't be involve?

dating involves both d girl nd d boy gettng to knw each oda.courtship is more advance way of dating cos it involves both families input in d relatnshp.courtshp is most sensitive cos u wil get an unbais opinion frm both families.though some family can stress u. Dating involve knwing ur date.but courtship involves knw ur date and their families proper.

Dating is when a couple are just having fun and are not certain or aiming to get married while courting is both dating and getting more aquainted with eachothers parents or guardians with the aim of getting married.

Yes it can. It takes discipline to deny sex from happening.

This discipline comes with great responsibility. The couple must be engage into something productive that sex will be their last option.

If you are going out with someone on a regular basis with or without agreements, you are dating

Courtship is a period that commences just after engagement.

Dating is a subset of courtship. One can date without agreements and commitments whereas in courtship there are sure commitments.

Dating involves a boy and a gal, courtship involves a woman and a man, BTW, courtship is an advance dating while one has the title of a bf or a gf, the courtship involves a fiance and a fiancee,... finally
