When Ted Scheinman's sister, who teaches the second grade in America, discovered two of little girls had - after finishing an assignment early - spent ten minutes writing a 24 step guide to falling in love.

Speaking with The Awl, Ted explained: "The girls surrendered the text without a struggle. I don’t believe it was confiscated on account of raciness; we’re pretty sure the teacher just really wanted to keep it.

"Frankly, it would take a professional paleographer to tell whether certain missing numbers were left blank intentionally, or out of delicacy, or even which “rules” correlate with which numbers. It’s like the Dead Sea Scrolls except more important. The final 10 items do leave a lot to the imagination."

We love how simply it begins; we never knew intensely staring at a person, then getting close to them, would lead to true love.

Nor did we realise the importance of dancing and putting our noses together. And we DEFINITELY didn't realise that you weren't allowed to swim with your beloved until you were married.

We've been doing this all wrong. For years. Maybe we've never actually been in love, judging by this list. Our nose-to-nose interaction is at an absolute minimum, if we're perfectly honest.*
