20+ Outdated Romantic Gestures That Would Absolutely Not Land Today

When it comes to romantic gestures, a lot of us have some pretty high expectations. That's because we often take our relationship cues from the media. Whether it's from the countless romcoms we've watched or the viral posts we've seen on social media, we have a pretty good idea of what constitutes a romantic gesture. However, the dating scene has definitely changed over time, and there are many romantic gestures from the past that would be considered inappropriate or even downright alarming today.

In this thread, internet users took to the comments to explore some of these outdated gestures. For example, persistence after getting rejected was once seen as a sign of passion, but now it could probably be classified as stalking, which is not cool. Similarly, showing up unannounced in the middle of the night to throw rocks at someone's window was once seen as romantic, but now it would probably just cause the woman a panic attack. And of course, dueling to the death... I think that one speaks for itself. So, keep reading to discover more hilarious, outdated romantic gestures that are best left in the past.
