You hit the nail on the head. And in the courtship model it is up to the guy to make the move and ask her to consider him as possible marriage material BEFORE he is sure. Yeah, kinda hard. Trust me.

I think the courtship model is a great ideal, but it derives from a geographically-close family structure which, unfortunately, is increasingly rare today, so it's not very realistic for many people. For instance, like has been brought up, it's impractical for a guy to get to know the girl's family first if the couple in question is attending a college 1,000 miles away from the family's home.
