Answered as per Shafi'i Fiqh by Darul Iftaa Jordan
What is the ruling on a young man and a young woman having a love relation for the purpose of getting married?

Answer:
It is forbidden for a man and a woman to have any kind of relation whether for marriage, or not because it leads to committing sin. Such relations include: private meetings, mixing, gazing, and seclusion(Khulwa). Accordingly, one who is sincere in his intentions should go to the woman`s guardian and ask for her hand in marriage.
