When did our culture change from "Courtship" to "Dating"? Courtship is when a young man who is interested in a young lady meets her parents and spends time with her to determine if they are compatible for marriage. If they are, they get married. If not, they part company. There might be hurt feelings or disappointments if things don't work out, but other than that, there's no harm done. Dating, on the other hand, is when a young man who is interested in a young lady spends time with her with the hopes and expectations that they will have sex. Eventually they have sex and continue to have sex until they discover they are no longer compatible. Hopefully a pregnancy has not happened during that time, if it has, things can get messy if there was a bad break up. We are watching our children participate in a degenerate American culture that teaches men and women to use each other like disposable paper towels. Relationships have no trust because the purpose is not declared from the beginining, in fact, men become annoyed if a woman mentions too early in the "dating" experience any thing about marriage. Courtship prepares a couple to become part of a family. Dating has become an exploitive means of  having uncommitted sex while trying to mature into adulthood. How can we teach young people the rules of "courtship" as opposed to the arbitrariness of "dating"?
