LOL this is cute! I remember I used to think that "making love" meant writing love letters. Because what other romantic activity is there in which you "make" something? My kid-brain was weird.

I think it did used to mean something more akin to wooing than sex. I once watched a little bit of an old Katherine Hepburn movie from the 30s and at one point she asks a guy, "Are you making love to me?" And I'm like, no, you're both just standing there, not touching, with all of your clothes still on.

That's not how people usually intend the term now, of course...

I remember the part in 'The Silver Chair' where Jill "made love" to the entire castle. At the time it meant that she was just being very charming but it did make me do a double take when I reread it a few years ago.

I learned the phrase in that context from Singing In The Rain (Lina's line "I can't make love to a bush!"), and was using it that way until I embarrassed myself with it in a college communications class.
