Dating with an intention to marry (also called courting) is okay.
Keep it short, 1-2 dates in public at a fancy restaurant where you both have lots of opportunities to chat about compatibility and future.
Second or third date should be at hers house with her mahram
No touching though
I agree sxb this is the only type of "dating" that is acceptable, Atleast for a practicing Muslim.
1-2 dates/courtship at a restaurant plus getting to know each other's family should be enough if both of you guys are physically attracted to each other and just need to know if both of your future goals and personalities align.
