    I had heard about Dancing cards, but not about Flirtation cards. Sounds like something the novels/dramas need to pick up.

    I wonder if this was the inspiration for the Valentine's Day card?

    Did men give flirtation cards to many/any women they saw? These appear to have been printed in “bulk” for the time. 😂

    I absolutely love your channel, but the music is a bit distracting

      Thank you! Yeah, unfortunately this is one of my earlier videos and I was still getting the hang of balancing music with narration. 😅If you check out any of my more recent stuff, the balance should be a little better.

    Boy, these cards are serious business. You had not better return that card, unless you are interested in marrying that person. Why is the angel holding wedding bands if it only suppose to be a courting date?? Seems more serious than that more like "I pick you as my mate date how about you?"
