Teenagers Courtship: Past and Present




Courtship is an action of expressing love for someone. Courtship is a beautiful topic for teenagers, they are so interested. And now, on this article, I would like to differentiate what are the things that a man do when he is courting a girl in the past and present.

PAST
          On the past, teenagers have a high standard when it comes in courtship. Even the parents were so strict in allowing their children to court or being courted by someone. Parents wanted to see the man in their own house; they wanted the courtship for their girl to happen in the house because for them, it’s a sign of respect not only for the parents but also for the girl.

            Here in the Philippines, when a guy is courting a girl, they do it in the evening and they serenade the girl in the house. They used a guitar for the instrument and a love song that expresses their admiration and love for the girl. Another way of courting a girl here in the Philippines in the past is offering a free service for the family of the girl. For example, when the father of a girl is a farmer, the guy helped the father in the farm or the guy will helped the girl is house choirs and so many more.

            Another way of courting a girl in the past was writing a love letter for the girl. A love letter contains admiration and love for the girl. Another is giving a flower or a food, specifically a chocolates or any sweet food.

            Every man has different way of expressing his love for a girl. All I know is that when my grand-mother talked about courtship in her time, it was so romantic. The guy expresses his love and admiration in a respectful way for the girl and also for the parents.

PRESENT
          The same with the way of a man in the past, some teenagers do some techniques in courtship.  But because of our modern world, some techniques are disappeared and many are added.

            The big difference of courtship between today’s teenager and before is that courtship is the true actions of visiting houses of a girl making love proposals personally and most of all making love letters. Unlike today most courtship among teenagers is done through text messaging on cell phones. But this courtship as we all know is all done only on the click of the hands with no other effort. This makes courtship among teenagers today easier but as far as parents are concerned, this could be unreliable and not sincere. It’s hard to know the sincerity of a guy to a girl.

For a man, if you truly loved the girl, make sure that you expressed it in the right place and in the right way.

This was realllllly helpful because my "boyfriend" has a very strict mother and everyone in his family (direct and brother in law) knows about us but not his mom and his brother in law suggested that we tell his mother that we'd like to court rather than come out as dating and it would be a good chance spend more time with him at his house So thank you ☺️

This is true....As we observe there is a big difference between courtship in the past and present.....I hope courtship in the past would exist in our generation....

I wanna use this information for my thesis paper, but you dont have surname written on this blog. Hays, it can give enough knowledge to my research but i cant get it without citation. In citation, your last name is important. Hays how i wish you have surname
