LINK: I have a great deal of sympathy for Matt Powell's view on dating v. courtship. I'm somewhat in the middle on this question between my prescriptivist instincts (which tell me Matt is absolutely right), and the fact that the way dating rituals are carried out in society requires an entirely different sort of answer.
Matt, if you're reading, you may have some interest in Sara Butler's work, which mines the same general area, and I've been quite satisfied with what she has to say.
"Thou shalt not extinguish thine anger, but shall master it,
that thy conscience may not be blunted by adjustment
to wrong causes."
