I believe in old fashioned values. I believe in candlelight dinners and rose petals leading to the living room for a good movie. I believe in being honest. I believe in real romance. :100: I don't believe that real romance exists any longer. I don't believe in cheating.I believe real relationships start in person. And #1rule do not ever bring up or even talk about your ex. & Facebook destroys relationships. One woman and one man is the only way. Sexy voice a plus. These are my thoughts and beliefs. Feel free to leave your own views on Real Love. I'm looking for a Real Love . Friendship 1st. have to be friends before you can go to the next step. and I believe no spending the night. 1 year. I will take it to 6 months. I believe good thing's come to those who wait. I have so much more to say. @ a later time. and only for that special one. Only one. I believe in cooking @ home. Love movies. Music. That's all I can say for now. I would love to hear if anyone else has similar beliefs.

On the subject of old-fashioned courtship values:

The online dating world is full of all types of people from all types of backgrounds with all ages and traditions.

No 'one' style of courtship fits all people from all ages.

During my (old-fashioned) youth, Courting disciplines were dictated a lot by our parent's influence. No many of us were media influenced.

As time progressed, each generation was slowly influenced more and more, by media exposure.

Old-fashioned can mean different things to different people depending upon their childhood influences.

A lot of people currently have the misunderstanding of 'old-fashioned' courtship.
They base their understanding on movies and literature which depict courting methods based on audience values according to the author, writer, director, studio or production company.
Even first-hand accounting of courtship from older relatives give you a 'gleam' which only focuses on the appealing aspects.

If you pay attention to your own value system and choose to court using romance your method will likely include only certain aspects of all your understanding of the courtship disciplines as you make it your own (custom to the relationship you are trying to build).

The moment you try to do or say something you don't normally do or believe in, you are perpetrating a lie.
Example: You hold the door for your date.
If you normally hold the door for people, holding the door for you date is in your nature and honest. But if you normally don't bother, it is a false act which is essentially a lie.

Additionally, most people will not respond favorably (in this day and age) to someone completely "old-fashioned".

You date a man who is completely old fashioned. So romantic and courteous during the courtship.
Then if a relationship blossoms, those old-fashioned values you love so much become restrictive and stagnate. What woman wants to serve their man 100% of the time. Cook the food, clean the house, do the dishes and laundry, take care of the kids, never work, only have 'approved' friends? Do you really want to be a man's property?

As the saying goes...
"Be Careful What You Wish For"

Life is messy. Courting should reflect reality.
Courting is the method used to figure out if the person you are interested in starting a relationship with aligns with you as you are.
Not as a ploy but as they actually are.

Choose Wisely!
