How would you recommend a traditional Catholic to go about in courtship in the modern world?

1. Find someone to court.
2. Issue them a summons to appear.
3. Do not breach ettiquete, incur damanges or cause undue hardship.
4. Engage in cross examination. Do not be guilty of negligance.
5. Treat objections (differences) or local ordinances (family rules) as serious matters to ponder.
6. Appeal to the court (i.e. parents/others) for wisdom and pray to the High Court (i.e. Our Lady) for guidance.
7. If no continuance takes place between the parties, and there isn't reasonable doubt of bankruptcy, talk to the Judge (priest) about a court order (engagement) for a deposition (marriage classes).
8. If Judge (priest) rules in favor, setup an escrow (prenup...just kidding) and the closing date for the contract (marriage date).
9. Gain custody (marriage).

Ha! I don't know if I could add to this! I certainly believe in questioning thoroughly. Meet parents and see how they live their lives. Check public records. God knows the devil(s) are busy!

Now that's how a LAWYER courts a woman! hahaha
If I had more time, I'd write up something for how a programmer goes about it.

define(MALE, true)
define(FEMALE, false);

define(OK, "clicked");

function CreateNewPerson($gender) {
   $soul = new Human();
   $soul->setGender($gender);

   return $soul;
}

function GetEstablishedInLife($soul) {
   do {
      $girl = $soul->LocalChapel->getNextEligibleSingle(!$soul->mygender);

      if ($girl != null) {
         $result = evaluateCandidate($girl);

         if ($result == OK) {
            $soul->enterMatrimony($girl);
            return;
         }
      }
   } while ($girl != null)

   $soul->getDepressed();

   return;
}

$soul = CreateNewPerson(MALE);

GetEstablishedInLife($soul);

Love it! Not practically helpful, but who cares?

I am not sure this is the best advice, but,

You could try sites like Catholic Match, there are a lot of traditional Catholics on there, feeling marriage is their vocation.

It's worth a try, if you feel called to do so.

In this day and age, many Catholics are finding love on the Internet and through Catholic sites.
