Dating, Courting, and Romance in 2012....

I always like to think that a man will "court me" and not just expect me to "fall in bed" the first time we meet. This blog is after reading another which i will not name.....because i like the person involved as a friend. What has happened to romance...when a man buys dinner and then thinks that "you owe him something" in return. Some women really do like men to show that they are intersting enough to take the time to get to know them.....then woo them the old fashioned way.....anybody think the same as I do???I am not falling in bed with anyone right from the gitgo....

Thank you Sweetie....i will

Viking...funny!
Yes, I can relate and tell you I feel the same. I would like to be "court" to as well, but it seams to me that it is not IN anymore...
Too sad I think, cause I've never been courted too that way. I mean I have been dating , but not the way people usually date.
I live in Norway, and here you get to know a man, get to go for a cup of coffee or tea and then you are sort of seen as a couple, you start to hang out. But I would really like to see and feel the "courting" coming my way. Would be great to get that once in my life, the old fashion dinner date, the man telling me he likes me cause I am who I am, and so on...blushing
Though in the "Old Testament" a man would go into a tent..."Know" a woman then came out "married!!!laugh
Welela, then tell him what you expect. Can't tell you how many "axes" I have given to men who think the opposite!!conversing
LOL, I understand but you see Norwegian guys do not understand the meaning of courting... Sorry , not any man I have met anyway.
There is a good reason why I am out on this page you knowrolling on the floor laughing

But I will take your advice and tell the guy to court me if someone ask me on a date ever again...rolling on the floor laughing rolling on the floor laughing rolling on the floor laughing
I understand where you´re coming from, I find it quite shocking what is going on sometimes. I´ll like to take my time to get to know someone and if someone doesn´t like it wave
I´m straight with what I want, don´t let anyone buy me dinner (go 50/50) and just take my time. Someone doesn´t like it, than he´s not for me. cool
Teddy, it's all about respect....a person that has dignity and respects themselves are confidant that they are more valuable than a 'one night stand" or " a piece'.
Solament, thank you for your input. Dating is always of "delicate" balance, i think. But, there are those who want to "test drive the new car" so to speak....sigh (i am not a car...)
Okay, when excalty are you planing to open your legs heart to the man? I'd say if hes bringing flowers, gifts and paying for dinner, that would be a definite sign, that he is a bit more interested than just interested. One would think he is owed at least a kiss or something bedder...wave laugh

Calli, Like they say " romance isn't dead , it just smells that way " .. . .rolling on the floor laughing rolling on the floor laughing rolling on the floor laughing

OK, I just couldn't resist that one . . cool . . . .Actually comming from the South it is expected to behave that way . The myth of the Southern Gentelman is taken quite seriously and no lady would ever put up with less . That sort of social upbringing will never leave you no matter where you eventually end up . . . . teddybear bouquet gift
