there wasn't dating - women were chattle and sold for their dowries. ( bride price) . Marrage was forced upon women without them having any say. and they had no rights in the marrage.
compare that with today. should be easy.

The above answers are only minimally correct. While powerful families spent time arranging marriages, most in medieval times weren't in a class where that happened.
Family or village events, celebrations - much like our modern fairs - or religious events allowed young people to meet and spend time together.
Medieval Europe was the time of chivalry. Flowery poetry, chivalrous deeds, Valentines... Women in Scotland gained the right to propose marriage in 1228! Does that sound like chattel to you?
