I think the rhyming scheme is a little over-done.
In the nearest language, it always works.

ever heard of a `dashing` girl? A chivalrous woman? No? There you go.

This was masterfull! I thought that the style was very unique, I read this every way possible..and each time it made sense..now, that is a work of art and talent! First I started to read ``her`` and ``him`` seperatly, than one verse at a time, than one sentence at a time..and each time the meaning was never lost. The theme of this poem was universal, as I was reading this I replayed the many times that such incidents have happend to me, infact just today alone, i can recount 2 of them! I loved seeing the thoughts of each charachter, how one action on ones part lead to anothers reaction, and vise versa....men truly are from mars and women from venus. Maybe you were trying to explain to us all that we should just speak up, and not question what might and what might not be..I`ll go with that. anyways, well done. I really liked this one!
