Arranged romantic relationship

An approach where an individual chooses a group of people, which may include the person’s family, friends, and close acquaintances, to choose someone for them to get into relationship with. Unlike arranged marriage, where usually an individual’s immediate family and or a professional matchmaker chooses an individual for the person to marry and they rush off a short time later to get married, once the group chooses an individual for them to get into a relationship with and reveals their choice to the individual, the individual and the person chosen to be their partner will enter a courtship phase for time period of between three to five years to make sure they are compatible. Unlike dating, where as more time passes people become more physically emotionally, and or sexually intimate, in an arranged romantic relationship there may be increases emotional intimacy, assuming the two people are compatible, but all of their interactions during the courtship phase are to be held in public settings, not just in the presence of their family and friends, but around people they don’t know, which limits the ability to have physical intimacy down to just hugging, dancing, and maybe brief kisses. Once the courtship phase is up, the couple will meet with the group the individual chose to decide whether they will get married or if things don’t work out, they can still be friends or go their separate ways.
