courting

Description

Courting is a ritual masquerading as romance, wherein bouquets and rings are displayed as wares and one is pressured to sign a contract named acceptance. While one courts with passionate words, they should not forget the upcoming family tribunal disguised as a board meeting. Those who understand that budget and timing approvals precede the celebration of true love will recognize it as a purist’s war game. In the end, it is not the single utterance of “yes” that holds the key, but rather the dynamics of societal peer pressure.
