Courtship seems like such an outdated term, but I think the process is so much fun to get to know someone.
Don't you find the term "courtship" to be so quaint? You know, where a couple get to know each other and decide if it'll be more permanent.

I didn't realize there was something called a public courtship.  How does that differ from other types?  So interesting.
I think that possibly pertains to arranged marriages, but usually those do not involve courtship when the couple don't meet until the wedding.
