Posted: 9/5/2008 9:53:32 AM | Courting is dead, Cupid is dead, and Romance is dead....and the person or persons responsible for their untimely demise should be hunted down and slaughtered......
 Very funny but sadly true. I'll hold the jack light for you, while you try to spot the "wolves in sheep's clothing."
Is courting dead? YEP! dead as a door nail! | |

Posted: 9/5/2008 1:26:53 PM | | It's actually a very serious question. Sadly, the quaint, social custom of "courting" is on life support, right next to its bedmate, chivalry. | |

Posted: 9/5/2008 3:02:18 PM | | The last two guys that were enamoured by me and wanted to take me to dinner, begged to take me to dinner, just turned into grabby pushy scary jerks who were looking for a piece of a$$. Not my idea really of courting, how about you. So now I turn down dinner invitations. There are a lot more guys interested in getting laid as fast as they can , rather than courting, so you have to assume the majority and be happy if it is anything else. Totally disenchanted and distrustful. We have a club now. | |

Posted: 9/5/2008 3:37:14 PM | If is it, I missed the funeral.
I still:
bring flower(s)
open doors
remove my hat when greeting (a woman of any age)
compliment on her attire
hold hands
learn her preferences
call if I've been delayed
ask her to dance, in a gentlemanly manner (whew! almost forgot the comma)
escort her off the dance floor arm in arm
bring her trinkets
surprise her with a bouquet (sp?)
pull out the chair for her
walk her to the door
tell her I missed her
and tease and play till she relaxes enough to bust a gut laughing!
The hard part is many women have been tainted into believing that only "players" exhibit these behaviors anymore. Don't Believe It!!!!!
Come on down to Texas! Courting is still alive here!!! | |

So you're saying: public executions are still alive here?
Sounds like a bad oxymoron.
Never heard of it sir. Care to give me a source and I'll check it out. | |

Posted: 9/5/2008 4:07:35 PM | Off Topic: The last public execution in the US happened in the 1930's in Kentucky.
On topic: Courting is only dead if you allow it to be. | |

Posted: 9/5/2008 4:46:19 PM | Hey Levi? You forgot one thing in that list of yours? Where the gentelman walks on the "outside" of the sidewalk to protect his date! Now that is an old one and I am dating myself by bringing it up. I was actually out on a date who did this. Was most impressed, although, obviously not enough! lol
Is courting dead? Depends on whom one dates I think! | |

Well Moon,
I'm quite aware of that one (I'm dated too - pun?) and practice it. I was going to add an item of "always ensure her safety" to my list, but felt I had done enough self-promotion and that I had, in all likelyhood, already called "Bashing Gods" down on me.
I really am curious what women consider "courting", but perhaps that's another thread.
For me, "courting" really doesn't begin, in 'earnest', until mutual interest is established. Hard to say, but maybe around the 3rd date. | |

Posted: 9/5/2008 6:30:47 PM | | I consider myself blessed with what I have; adding one more person into the mix will either water or down or stress it out too much. It's a fine balance, y'know. | |

Posted: 9/5/2008 7:53:19 PM | | I would love it if I met a guy that walked on the street side like men did years ago. I doubt whether people even think about that stuff anymore. | |

Posted: 9/5/2008 8:22:47 PM | My late husband was like that.....he was very romantic...He would call me from the office and ask me out to dinner. He always held my hand and walked on the outside. He was a great lover, protector,father, and provider. He courted me all through our marriage. They are hard to come by, but they are out there....  | |
