Why trad-style dating (courtship) is still cool:
It's perfectly safe. No risk of Stds.
It allows you to get to know your lover as a person, not just a beautiful body.
It's easier to correct course when you have just hugged them too soon than when you had sex too soon.
It can be very playful: the little furtive looks you send to each other as you hold hands, testing the waters. The little flower you may give her.
It can be magical in a way that casual sex can't be: when you slow dance together and dare to cuddle up, smelling their perfume and blushing rose.
It's a art that is cutely vintage and not just stereotypical: all can love a chair that is pulled, a coat offered, a "Ladies first" or a "Gentlemen first" or even "Sweet peas first".
It pushed you to make the night extra special, no matter what you choose, expensive Bâton-Rouge filet mignon or simply a McDonald's coffee together late at night.
It can be relaxing, no pressure.
Most of all, it allows you to see, over dates and activities, if that special one is a keeper.
