@Humpleupagus Then you’re doing it wrong. The courtship phase is meant to give you memories. It’s a time to really dig in and savor the excitement for each other, to create a well you can draw upon when things get tough that reminds you of how badly you wanted each other.
You shouldn’t be doing fake stuff, but authentic things tailored for her presence. You can blend your hobbies together. Early on I had some free airtime in a friend’s DA40, surprised her with a day trip to the next state over, some good food, and a tour through some vintage clothing shop I thought she’d love. Combined a little bit of everything for both of us.
