Do you know the difference between dating and courting? Dating: to regularly spend time with someone you have a romantic relationship with. Courting: be involved with romantically, typically with the intention of marrying. The major difference is the intention. There's no right or wrong. Just be mindful of the season you're in to manage expectations. @falonbonner was very specific in what she desired and only gave space to those who were in alignment the same intentions.
