do i hold the door?

do i hold the door
for her,
do i pay for dinner,
do i stand
when she arrives,
tip my hat?
do i pull her chair?
do i tell her she looks
nice in that dress.
do i try to kiss her.
do i hold her hand.
is it too early for that?
do i ask her for her number.
will she mind
if i guide her across
the street with my arm.
around her waist.
i don't know anymore.
it was easier
when i was twelve.
