Couple still courting after 30 years:

A Brazilian couple have been dating for 30 years and say they have no plans to live together.

Rodolfo Sibin, 48, and Elizete, 50, from Sao Joao da Boa Vista, have been going out together since 1973.

They live three blocks apart, speak on the phone at least three times a day and go out for dinner every night.

Rodolfo told Folha de Sao Paulo newspaper: "I still have butterflies on my stomach every time I see her. It is a crazy passion I have for her."

Elizete added: "Dating is much better than marrying, we do not have to worry about day-to-day problems. There are less fights and you don't have to put up with things you don't agree with."

They are planning a trip to Europe to celebrate their 30 years dating.

Rodolfo added: "I swear we will get married in December, I just don't know of which year."
