Is courting the new dating?
For evangelicals, anyway? I was talking to a teenage girl who comes from a very conservative family (not sure what church they attend). She told me that her older sister, a sophomore in college, had brought a male friend home to meet the family. Apparently, he is not her boyfriend, because they are courting. This boy had to ask permission from the father to court his daughter, and they do not hold hands or touch in any other way. They don't go on dates alone, it seems like they hang out in a group, so there's always some sort of chaperone. You know, kind of like they did a couple hundred years ago.
Anyone else heard of this? |

Glad I'm not a teenager.

Why does the spellchecker tell me you misspelled Chaperons?
