Another boardgame?

Courtship, traditionally the wooing of a female by a male, includes activities such as dating (dinner and a movie, a picnic, or general "hanging out"), along with other forms of activity, such as meeting online (also known as virtual dating), chatting on-line, sending text messages or picture messages, conversing over the phone, writing each other letters, and sending each other flowers, songs, and gifts. Courting usually involves getting to know the family (especially the parents) of the one you are courting. Most of the time courting will be done somewhere public, to lower the chances of anything going on between the couple. Some couples who court do not even kiss until marriage.
Do you think our relationship is less of a relationship because temporarily we are no physically together?
You are good at boardgames, I'm sure you will win this one!

Manuel,

Imagine a massive long table with a huge buffet on it- all kinds of food you can think of and even more.

If you took only the cherry on top of the cake away or even just one pea out of the bowl- it would still be a great buffet, but it would be slightly less of a buffet, too. Even when you return the cherry or the pea later on- in the meantime it isn't the same.

I get your point, but I have to admit that not having you around is more than just a missing cherry.

But with marriage as the trophy (as in this board game) I can do without the cherry for a couple of months.

I miss you.

Ya se que tu post tenía destinatario, pero me atrevo a participar porque llevo casi un mes de cortejo a distancia, y toma que si se puede estar en relación sin estar físicamente juntos. No es lo usual, pero pasan muchas de las cosas que ocurren en el cortejo cara a cara, lo de ir conociéndose, ganando en intimidad, en complicidad, los malentendidos, las marchas atrás, los miedos. Los modos cambian claro, y uno se curra más lo escrito, lo de las fotos y lo de hacer trabajar la memoria, la evocación y esas cosas.

un abrazo Manolo
