Courtship is a nice complicated thing. Popular in homeschool circles. It's supposed to give you a good idea whether you're suited for each other without having as much opportunity for being hurt if you're not.

I'd say it's more an attitude than a set course of action.

I would call it the opposite. The attitude without clear actions is highly fallible in the face of hormones and emotions. The action without the attitude still kinda works.
