Since his shirt matches her bow and earrings, they’re obviously made for each other.
“Was it his love she wanted – or just his kisses?” Probably the former, since his kisses appear to be rather inexpert and poorly aimed. Unless he's trying to smell what she had for lunch.
All that aside, it’s amazing the sort of pap they pumped out for young girls; anyone with a little experience in the Ways of the Heart knows that her statement makes no sense. I want to love you! Well, then go ahead. It’s a free country. But I don’t know how! Just put your lips together and blow, sweetheart. I’ve never been in love before! This is like the old catch-22 about getting a job. Can’t get a job without experience, can’t get experience without a job. Except that most people who are in love for the first time figure it out as they go along.
The perpetuation of the species over the millennia would seem to bear that out.
