A Deal on Courtship

Greetings!👋 **"Courtship"** It is a period in a romantic couple's relationship when they are dating. Most partners go through a courtship before deciding to get married. Courtship is an old-fashioned word, assuming that two people who love each other will eventually get married. www.vocabulary.com › dictionary I may say, it is one of the most exciting and most awaited part of teenage life. Maybe for some it doesn't tho, but I know most of us experienced this thing. We have different ways in courting someone, for boys specifically. The old-fashioned style of courtship; "Harana" or Serenade, through sending love letters, giving flowers, teady bears, and chocolates, textmate-n'-eyeball, and newest trend; virtual courting or courting through social media. Actually, I get this idea of writing this piece because of ate @Zhyne06's article regarding courtship, that I had read a day ago. https://read.cash/@Zhyne06/teenage-days-things-that-i-dont-like-in-courtship-38bf4a7f At some point, we might have the same perspectives about it, but I do have different outlooks for the others. Here are some of my experiences about courtship: **Love Letters**

I, myself experienced on getting a love letter. And indeed, it was so corny and kinda awkward. Its just full of flattering words. Duh! Whatever..🙄 It happened during my elementary days. I think I was a sixth grade pupil at that time. One time, one my classmates gave me an envelop with a letter inside it. I was a little confused if what was that for. Then my other classmates started to teased us. So I opened the envelop and of course, I read the letter. I can still remember what was written in there. It goes like this, `"Good day to you my lady. I don't know where to start but let me tell you this, "I like you". I don't know when was this feeling started. Maybe its when I first saw you. I was mesmerized by your beauty. Can I court you?"` (it was actually written in "bisaya"😅) After reading it, I looked at him, I gave him a silly smile and throw the letter at him. I was very embarrassed for what he did. I was an innocent thinker at that time. And because I don't know how to respond and what to respond, I just throw it right after I read it. But still my other classmates kept on teasing us, so that's why I ignored him since that day, but later on, I forgave him after he apologized. And guess what? He was a successful business man right now. **Receiving Flowers, Chocolates, and Teady bears**

I was a high school student at that time. It happened during my 1st birthday as a high school student. I was thirteen years old when I received a teady bear from someone I knew but frankly speaking, I don't like him. Not being a judgemental, but I think he was just somewhat arrogant and he had a bad boy aura. But I still accepted it, as his birthday gift for me. There's another guy, who came across my high school life. He was a son of my TLE teacher. He courted me. He gave me bouquet of flowers, chocolates and a small teady bear. I may say, he's kinda sweet. I permitted him to court me and later on, he became my boyfriend, my first boyfriend. You may say, I was too young to be in a relationship at that age, which was thirteen, but I just give it a shot, anyways, I was not that serious about it. And now, he had a son. **"Harana" or Serenade**

This is my favorite type of courtship. My current boyfriend did it for me. And honestly, that was the very first time, someone serenades me. I liked it though it was an old-fashioned style of courting, because I felt like I was the most beautiful woman for that person who sang for me.(GGSS😅) And I also felt his sincerity towards me. I have this one tactic of knowing about the sincerity of someone, and it was looking through his eyes. I can identify right away if he was just faking it or not. I don't know, maybe because I just sense and felt it. But anyways, I was just happy and thankful that he was serious tho. **Textmate-n'-eyeball**

I experienced this text mate thing but I didn't go for an eyeball. I was just afraid of strangers.😅Especially, that I am not aware about their looks and their true identity. **Virtual courting or Social media courting**

Someone did court me through social media, particularly on facebook. My current boyfriend also courted me through it. But I said that I preferred if he court me personally, and fortunately, he did as what I have said. So that's it fellas! I hope you enjoyed while reading it.
