💐 WHAT IS COURTING?

A Modern Approach to an Old-Fashioned Idea

Courting is an old word, but a timeless concept:
taking time to truly get to know someone, with kindness, intention and respect.

At The Courting Club, we draw inspiration from early 1900s traditions — not their rules, but their spirit.

Courting, to us, means:

• slowing down

• enjoying real conversation

• showing courtesy and sincerity

• meeting with clear intentions

• allowing connection to unfold gently

No pressure.
No games.
No rush.

Courting vs Modern Dating

Courting

• Face-to-face conversation

• Gentle introductions

• Respectful behaviour

• Calm, elegant settings

• Small, personal gatherings

Dating Apps

• Fast, image-driven

• Endless messaging

• Ghosting and confusion

• Overwhelm and pressure

We are not recreating the past — we are reviving its warmth, dignity and authenticity.

How We Bring Courting to Life Today

Through:

• hosted tea socials and small gatherings

• guided conversation rounds that feel natural and relaxed

• clear boundaries and respectful behaviour

• an age-specific community (45–65)

• venues that feel elegant, cosy and safe

Courting is a mindset — and at The Courting Club, it’s at the heart of everything we do.
