Re: Relationships/Courting
I can't help think about how people met in society until very recently.
There were social dances were people would go and mingle and have the chance to talk (and dance) to different MOTOS one on one. All the while chaperones (usually parents/aunts of the females) would be around to make sure nothing got out of hand, but they weren't going to judge anyone who talking to a MOTOS, that was what they were there for.
And then if two people felt mutual attraction than the next stage would be to dine with each others families and get to know each other in less formal situations, but all still properly chaperoned, even if it was just someone's younger sister being forced to tag along with them somewhere.
In this modern day, sometimes I hanker for the simple ways of the past. Even if at other times I am happy to line in a time of vaccines.
