3.3.32

bāla-krīḍanakair bālā kalābhir yauvane sthitā. vatsalā cāpi saṃgrāhyā viśvāsya-jana-saṃgrahāt((80)).

A man, who has seen and perceived the feelings of the girl towards him, and who has noticed the outward signs and movements by which those feelings are expressed, should do everything in his power to effect an union with her. He should gain over a young girl by childlike sports, a damsel come of age by his skill in the arts, and a girl that loves him by having recourse to persons in whom she confides.

Richard Francis Burton & Foster Fitzgerald Arbuthnot 1883, The Kama Sutra of Vatsyayana
