Anonymous The interpretation of dreams and moles… (1805)

As for maids or widows, if you like a brisk man, and are bashful, you may use dumb signs, which is called love’s silent language, gaze on his face; then, when he perceives it, suddenly take off your eyes, and turn your head aside, blush naturally, forcingly hold in your breathing, and start a little when first you see him at any time, as if you were surprized; if he takes you by the hand, grasp him with a little trembling, and then seem to withdraw your hand again, as if uneasy.

Anonymous The interpretation of dreams and moles… (1805)

And first, to maids who have not possessed their first blushes, your first addresses must be with gentleness and modesty, lest you fright them with an opinion that you are rude and uncivil of behaviour, and rather aim at debauching them than at marriage: And you must be brisk with them, or they will take you for a drone without a sting.
Widows, especially the young ones, are gamesome and buxom, for having once smelt to the spit, they always love a good joint; those you must entertain with some merry discourse, and lay aside whining or solemn protestations; kiss them till their ears crack
