If you're a good Amish girl, you're courting, you have three or four different beaus, and you go out and stay out all night. That's just their tradition. They date under the covering of night.

Dario Fo
Dating is fun. It's light: There's courting; there's the interesting, exciting text messaging and flirting. There's no weight. When you start getting into relationships, you really start having to consider each other in your lives, and I think that's really important.

Gavin Newsom
I met my wife in Bombay at an official function. And then we courted for three years. That's a great old term, 'courting.'

Glenn Turner
Having an idea is easy, courting one can be difficult.

James Surowiecki
If I was courting the Muslim vote, I wouldn't have put establishing the partnership ceremony at the forefront of my first term, would I? I go all around London advocating lesbian and gay rights.
