Oh, yeah. It was a matter of timing, really. I mean, we spent weeks traveling basically alone together through half the world, but there wasn't really time for romancing in there.
They are, yeah. But there's... There's some kind of connotation to courting now? Dating can be casual. Courting always sort of implies something longer lasting and more romantic. Marriage at the end. That kind of thing.
[ GIRL... YEAH HE'S LIKE... WE SAW THAT EARLIER... and is like looking at her like you... you. ]
Courting doesn't always end up as being entirely romantic or long-lasting. It can be as fanciful as something casual, then romantic is subjective... [ He has little romance in his body unless he is in love with someone. ] Plenty of nobility court for something like a week and then have a wedding.
[ ... ]
But I do understand what you mean. Marriage isn't a casual thing, even if it happens in a week of fanciful courting.
"Fanciful courting". [ just. repeating that in a Tone ] Yeah, I think after enough time passed people just started referring to that as dating. I don't know why courting got all those connotations, etymology really wasn't my subject.
But I guess sometimes you don't need courting or dating for marriage either.

It's not always about courtship. Shared experiences are enough, I think.
no subject
[ though she laughs a little ]
Shared experiences is right. Though I don't think anyone would call it courtship anymore.
no subject
I'm sorry that I'm not privy in the new terms like "crush" and... Whatever we're using for courtship now.
