To think one loves another instantly this can be,
but whether or not that person is the right person takes time you see.
Date for quite a while and let not sex enter the ring,
and if he stay around you might have something.
How does he treet you is he gentlemanly and kind,
does he show respect or does he often unwind.
How does his Dad treat his mother keep a close eye,
and through many ways you will find out all the secrets bye and bye.
Does he bring you flowers and a kiss for his best girl,
Does he watch our expressions when your mind is in a whirl.
What makes you happy and does he find a way,
to bring joy and laughter to every day .
When he calls to go out and your not feeling well,
does he say OK and asks what he can do never calls on his cell.
Have you thought of and seen what makes him happy to,
or do you make the decisions and he just follows the muse.
For love in friendship if set for first base,
then talking with one another and find its great.
To get with his mother and talk family and let her go,
often tells you more than what comes from your beau.
Now if you feel sure of this person and have dated like a year,
and you have to frustrations and find him truly dear.
Then go to step two and you will have no fear,
for love has been earned and shall last for many years.
Author notes
Does this person know your ex
if so it will never work
for he knows what you have been through
and most likely he is also a jerk
Take your time honey and within a year you will see
if their are any flaws indeed
Dont think you can change them there is no way
so find your prince without any dents and then love everyday

Oh my goodness.
Now if every teenager would actually read this
believe this, and went by this, And stood by this like it was the ten commandments then I'm sure they wouldn't get hurt in the long run , heck even adults too.
But you live and learn . Everyone makes mistakes.
This poem was out of sight, Excellent job .

I agree with every word. Even if I have know someone all my life if he was just a friend that's not enough. I'd want to know more and that comes from dates. Then he can ask again. Thanks for sharing the wisdom like always. UNT

P.S. I think here,
"often tells you more than what comes from your bow"
you meant
"often tells you more than what comes from your beau"

This is excellent advice. It takes time to get to know someone properly and as I have found recently, a man that cares for more than just a physical relationship is more than happy to wait for step two. There is so much more to be discovered about each other in the meantime.
Great write, I really enjoyed reading this.
