Lace handkerchiefs have long been associated with romance. Many centuries ago, refined ladies would drop their lace handkerchiefs before gentleman suitors to let them know they were interested. Handkerchiefs were also used to communicate romantic intentions. For example, drawing a handkerchief across your face was the equivalent of whispering, "I love you." Twirling your handkerchief in your right hand was a way of letting someone know you loved another.

In the 19th century, children played a romantic game called Drop the Handkerchief. Children would form a circle, and a young girl would drop her handkerchief behind a boy. The boy would then try to catch her before she made it back to her spot in the circle. The prize for catching the girl was a kiss.
