Courtship Rituals

Courtship rituals are behaviors and gestures through which individuals express interest and build attraction for a potential partner. These rituals can include verbal communication, body language, gestures, gift-giving, or shared activities, and often serve to establish trust, compatibility, and emotional connection. Different cultures and species have unique customs, but overall, these rituals help people or animals signal their intentions and assess mutual interest, facilitating the development of a romantic or mating relationship.
