No. Many species have a form of courtship behavior. A particular form of courtship behavior is usually unique to a species.

Birds are a species that have really flashy courtship behaviors. But each kind of bird seems to use a specialized form of courtship. Mockingbirds sing, and sing, and sing, and sing until the people around them are ready to shoot the birds! Other kinds of birds may use a form of dancing to attract a mate. I've seen programs on TV that show fascinating birds dancing, flashing their wings or tails, making specialized drumming noises in their throats to tell a potential mate that they are really great male birds for mating! Other birds may build a house, showing how good they are to provide a home for making babies.

Some mammals may show a potential mate that they are great hunters, and can feed any babies they can make. All courtship is aimed at telling a potential mate that they are capable of providing a home and food for babies. Human beings seem to be the only species that does not feel the need for this.
