Long walks on the beach

Long walks on the beach

The concept of a "long walks on the beach" has become a romantic cliché because of its frequent use in personal advertisements. It is often used a context such as: "Hello, my name is Cheryl, and I like candlelit dinners and long walks on the beach." This introduces the speaker as willing to take time to get to know the other person in the relationship, and also as someone interested in romance.
