1865. It was narrated from Anas bin Mâlik that Mughirah bin Shu'bah wanted to marry a woman. The Prophet ﷺ said to him: "Go and look at her, for that is more likely to create love between you." So he did that, and he married her, and mentioned how well he got along with her. (Sahih)
1865 - حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الْخَلَّالُ، وَزُهَيْرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ، قَالُوا: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، عَنْ مَعْمَرٍ، عَنْ ثابِتٍ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، أَنَّ الْمُغِيرَةَ بْنَ شُعْبَةَ أَرَادَ أَنْ يَتَزَوَّجَ امْرَأَةً، فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «اذْهَبْ فَانْظُرْ إِلَيْهَا، فَإِنَّهُ أَحْرَى أَنْ يُؤْدَمَ بَيْنَكُمَا» ، فَفَعَلَ، فَتَزَوَّجَهَا، فَذَكَرَ مِنْ مُوَافَقَتِهَا

Only one look is allowed; meeting each other in seclusion and to have long conversations, or to go together for a leisurely walk or on holidays, etc., are all contrary to the Islamic etiquettes of life. This Hadith does not allow the permission of such things.
