Courting

There are probably millions of words in the English language. Some words have gone extinct and many are used in contexts that do not have anything to do with their original meanings. I am curious about the opinions of you A/all if the following term's definition has been changed, so it may best describe a phase in our BDSM partnerships.

Prior to the 1980's, the expression "courting" was used to illustrate the dating grade of a vanilla relationship. In the present day, courting is used to portray the first stage of a BDSM union. In the beginning of every coupling, a "getting to know you" condition occurs. But do Y/you have to date S/someone in order to get to know T/them? I am aware that some P/people in the BDSM lifestyle may date and partner those who identify as vanilla and then take on a Dominant or submissive, but will BDSM lifestylers date O/others from their own community? If I/individuals in the BDSM civilization do not date those from T/heir own colony, is courting the correct word to use when referring to the initial status of a BDSM comradeship?
