What does "court" mean in this case?
"A nervous man thrust a bouquet of flowers at a woman he's courting"
there are 5 definitions from the dictionary which have similar meanings and I'm thinking it's definition #5.
1 to try to please somebody in order to get something you want, especially the support of a person, an organization, etc.
2 to try to obtain something
3 to do something that might result in something unpleasant happening
4 if a man courts a woman, he spends time with her and tries to make her love him, so that they can get married
5 to have a romantic relationship before getting married
Thanks so much.
