There is an old, almost forgotten, southern means of finding out if a courting couple are compatible enough ...for a marriage that lasts. It was called “necking”, and has some very strict rules.
I remember "necking"! In my part of the South, it was also called "he'in' an' she'in' ". Often it was preceded by lying on the living room or rec room floor listening to jazz. It was so fun, except when your little brother tried to interfere.
