Fairly casual in most European-influenced cultures, in some traditional societies, courtship is a highly structured activity with very specific formal rules.

Fairly casual in most European-influenced cultures, in some traditional societies, courtship is a highly structured activity with very specific formal rules.



In some societies, the parents or community propose potential partners and then allow limited courtship to determine whether the parties are suited. In [[Japan]], there is such a type of courtship called [[Miai|Omiai]], with similar practices called "Xiangqin" ({{lang|zh|相親}}) in the [[Greater China Area]].<ref name="Thelmaw-2015">{{Cite web |last=Thelmaw |first=Ritgerõ |date=September 2015 |title=Courtship in Japan and Iceland |url=http://skemman.is/stream/get/1946/22794/52148/1/Ritger%C3%B0_Thelmaw.pdf |access-date=15 May 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160605134159/http://skemman.is/stream/get/1946/22794/52148/1/Ritger%C3%B0_Thelmaw.pdf |archive-date=5 June 2016 |url-status=dead}}</ref> Parents will hire a matchmaker to provide pictures and [[résumé]]s of potential mates, and if the couple agrees, there will be a formal meeting with the matchmaker and often parents in attendance.<ref name="Thelmaw-2015" /> The matchmaker and parents will often exert pressure on the couple to decide whether they want to marry after a few meetings.

[[Courtship in the Philippines]] is one complex form of courtship. Unlike other societies, it takes a far more subdued and indirect approach.<ref name="phrasebase.com">{{Cite web |url=http://www.phrasebase.com/archive/tagalog/82-courtship-in-philippine-culture.html |title=COURTSHIP IN PHILIPPINE CULTURE |website=www.phrasebase.com |access-date=13 May 2016 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200219214017/http://www.phrasebase.com/archive/tagalog/82-courtship-in-philippine-culture.html |archive-date=19 February 2020}}</ref> Its complexity involves stages, and it is considered normal for courtship to last a year or longer. It is common to see a man showing off by sending love letters and love poems, singing romantic songs, and buying gifts for a woman. The parents are also seen as part of the courtship practice, as their approval is commonly needed before courtship may begin or before the woman gives the man an answer to his advances.<ref name="phrasebase.com" />
