Check out this great article in the NYTimes on
Victorian personal ads and the blog of the
Ph.D. candidate studying them. Fun reading and gives me a great avenue of research (albeit, she does American) for that long-considered article on museums as a place of courtship in Victorian England.
Never mind Victorian England, I can remember getting hot and bothered with a girl in Natural History Museum, some of those glass cases were hardly ever visited and it was the time before security cameras were put in all the best places. The Geology museum was best, simulated coal mines. Dark and spookey!
