Would you court instead of date?

I was about to ask what the difference was, but judging by your explanation of the difference, I'd have to say I have no problem with courtship for, say 2 months up to a year. But I would not advocate no physical contact at all until after marriage for the simple reason that I think too many people find out too late that their partner has some hang-up(s) that weren't apparent when they courted or even dated.
