The colors in the background represent the many fun and scary stages of courtship. The first figure on the left is the aggressor. The splash of black represents his fierce emotions. The second figure is happy but also leaning back as if things might be going quite fast for her. Or maybe she is just being coy. The next two figures are chatting about themselves and getting to know each other. The last shadow of a figure is the real, honest self of the woman next to her. She is protecting herself from opening up too fast and revealing herself. She is afraid that, if she does, she might be deeply hurt.
