The modern world is a tiring place to live. Part of it is that we have all of the information in the world as well as a constant stream of entertainment available to us at all times at the press of a button. Who wouldn't be anxious after staring at a super bright screen that shows you terrible news from across the globe, how to make an incredibly involved recipe with ingredients you've never heard of, and 16 videos with the same sped-up song in the background in less than two minutes right before falling asleep? That's just the normal stuff; don't even get me started on the dating scene.

It's easy to romanticize the past – especially when it comes to courting rituals. Nowadays, we might consider it a romantic gesture if a man has a the decency to suggest a pizza place on a first date over just inviting you over to his house straight away. However, men of the past used to write poems, go to battle, and really yearn for their love. Scroll down if you have nostalgia for a time long forgotten.
