We are collectively turning into a world of over-sensitive, reactionary pansies who have no better time on their hands than to make mountains out of ant hills.

Seems like "New Coke" dispels this wisdom theory, at least with respect to one of the parties involved.

Dumb idea... encouraging unsolicited romantic behavior in a closed space is not advisable.

That said, I'm sure the outrage will be approx 100x what these napkins deserve.

The way that respectable people meet and approach their love interests has changed.

The designers of this napkin neglected or were ignorant to that sociological shift.
just so we’re clear, how do respectable people meet and approach love interests these days?

asking for a friend...

I see no harm in it. But Delta likes to pretend that they are "woke" and probably should have known what the reaction would be. They acticely market themselves to professional victims.

Female POV here - I think it's meant to be cute and perhaps seasonally humorous as we're headed into Valentine's Day here.
