Sometimes, the courting stage of a relationship can be more important for forming a bond than the relationship itself. Experts say that this process of getting to know the other person can be beneficial in saving us from heartbreak in the future.
Courting is the earliest stage of dating, with no exclusivity, and it’s the time for potential partners to win over one another with actions. Although dating apps now represent a sort of fast-forwards on courting, lack of courting can prove to be an issue later in the relationship.
Although mistakenly believed to be overly traditional, it doesn’t have to be. While it is mostly men who do it, both men and women can engage in courting activities, as it’s when we get to show our best qualities and show the other person we’re interested in being more than friends.
Arranging joint activities and spending quality time together gives you time to determine if someone’s a good fit before entering a serious relationship. This increases the chances of building a stable, serious relationship and results in fewer breakups and toxic relations.
