Whats the difference between dating and courting? Is courting more of an appropriate form of a relationship that will glorify God?

Need clarification please!
Thank You

Was more recent than that. But it's the OP first day.

rita: Try a Search for "courtship." There's a really long thread about this very topic somewhere, but I'm on a slow connection and I'm trying to catch up on the forum right now.
 
This is a good starting answer:

Dating and courtship are two methods of beginning relationships with the opposite sex. While there are non-Christians who date with the intention of having a series of intimate physical relationships, for the Christian this is not acceptable and should never be the reason for dating. Many Christians see dating as little more than friendship and maintain the friendship aspect of their dating until both people are ready to commit to each another as potential marriage partners. First and foremost, dating is a time when a Christian finds out if his or her potential marriage partner is also a believer in Christ. The Bible warns us that believers and unbelievers should not marry each other, because those living in the light (of Christ) and those living in the darkness cannot live in harmony (
2 Corinthians 6:14-15).
