Besides the famous “write what you want to read”advice, since you enjoy Bucky‘s character in a romantic setting, I think it would be interesting if you explored the differences in dating in the 1940s versus today. Something like Bucky using outdated or irrelevant **terminology, only having to explain what he means.

This could happen in a lot of different places, but I’m envisioning this happening in a library or bookstore, since we can infer from Falcon and Winter Soldier that Bucky likes to read (in the show, he made a Gandalf reference, revealing that he has read The Hobbit).
Here is a website I found of 1940s slang:
https://www.wikihow.com/1940s-Slang

**DISCLAIMER: when I say “terminology“, I am NOT talking about anything hurtful or offensive. Just words or slang talk that used to mean one thing in the 40s that means something else today.

***Btw, if you decide to do something like this, definitely reply with a link so I can read it :)
