"THE WAY OF COURTSHIP"

TRENDS

      Before Filipino male suitor expresses his interest to a woman in a discreet and friendly manner in order to avoid being perceived as aggressive or arrogant.Culturally  another gentlemanly way of seeking the attention of a woman is not to be done by the admirer by approaching  her in the street to casually ask for her telephone number .Before the man needs to serve the family of a Filipina woman to show  how serious he is ,because before the parents of a Filipina woman is very strict and conservative they want to know if the guy is serious to thier daughter .

During the courtship process , a traditional Filipina is expected to play "hard to get " ,to act as if not interested, to be not flirty ,and show shyness ,be well-manered and demure.The way of courtship before is very different in the way of courtship now,because before the couples are not perform public displays of affection for each other  .The Filipina woman before is very conservative and they make sure that the guy is serious about their feelings .Courtship is example of trend because  even if the generation before is different in our generation now , there are some guy do the old way of courtship because they think it is a right way to catch the attention of the girl you like .

FADS

       The same with the way of a man in the past ,some teenagers do some techniques in courtship.But because of our modern world some of techniques are disappeared .Before the man visit the house of a girl making proposals personally ,unlike today most courtship among teenagers is done through text ,messaging on cellphones and date in the street .The Filipina woman now is different before because now some woman are not conservative they wear shorts, sleeveless etc.

The way of courtship now is by texting the girl  you like or by approaching her in the street. Now a days man didn't do the traditional way of courting they don't come to the house of the girl to ask the permission of the parents . With the use of new technologies ,little by little the Philippine courtship becomes cheaper and cheaper literally . In just a few hours of conversation through sending text messages and e-mails ,one can easily find a partner. The courtship now is example of fads because there is no permanent in this world . Yes the courtship is still there but the way is very different.
