Increase and multiply was the cry of encouragement from the villagers in early America
Courtship customs and activities have changed much over the years. In days gone by, the ritual of courtship was very structured.
1. Introduction of the man and woman was considered proper and mandatory. After the first introduction was made, the mother of the household would request a 'call' from the man. This meant that, in the mothers presence, the man was to pay a visit. Parents would sometimes sit in a nearby room and listen to the couple's conversation
2. Second dates were expected more often that not.
3. Decorum was propriety and good taste in behavior was expected
