Complimenting women is really all about
Removing branches of interpretation that leaf in self doubt
Without the words becoming too many or
too much – that is, emphatic –
Which might come off aggressive, or she
might take as sarcastic,
So I might want to put it off, but then
she might feel she's left hanging,
and I'll have to do it all again, and
I've just doubled my planning.
Out of the three Fs – family,
friends, and foods – she's 4-F – fun.
I might someday call her 'girlfriend',
but I can't now call it “love.”
The movies say “be honest. Just tell
her how you feel.”
I do my best to avoid war metaphors,
but she's a minefield.
