Today I was out and when I went into a store I held the door open for a woman. She turned to me and said: Thank you, it's nice to know that there are still Gentlemen left in this world,, that kinda stuck with me.

 

Out of curiousity my questions is: Guys, did you open the car door,, door at stores/ other for your ex,, did you open an umbrella for her and walk with her mostly covering her if it was raining/snowing?

 

Girls, did your ex. ever do things like that?,, did they do it at first then stop later on during the relationship?

 

What other Gentlemanly things did you do or have done for you?

Never the car door but ALWAYS doors to restaurants and anywhere else. I would give her my jacket if she was cold in a movie if I was freezing. They say chivalry is dead and I know why now :p

Yes all my exes were gentlemen. Its actually one quality I really look for in a man because it shows how they will treat you. All of my exes were good guys but things obviously didn't work out due to other reasons.

 

Its hard to find gentlemen now a days though that also the reason why I didn't date for a while. But I know they exist, its not an urban legend lol. I think its the greatest feeling knowing the guy I'm with is taking care of me and also looking to make sure I'm fine. My last bf, he was a typical gentleman. He made sure I got home safe, open doors, made me stay inside while caught a cab when it was raining and would walk me to my car no matter the time or weather. There was one instance that really won me over was when we went to a concert and I walking with a large purse which someone happened to accidentally bump into. I didn't think nothing it, but when my ex seen it he didn't say a word he just grabbed hand and put me on the other side of him so I was less likely to get bumped. I was very impressed that he was so attentive that he noticed that small mishap and did what he could so it wouldn't happen again.

 

We need more gentlemen in this world, that's what makes the right men stand out for who I would date. I show respect to the guys I date, I expect the same in return.

If your a guy reading this---women love it when you are gentlemen to them. I am an avid walker and many of my boyfriends have went walking with me and it always was a deal breaker if I would date them or not to see if when a car was coming towards us he would walk on the road and put me closest to the side of the road as if to protect me from being hit. That would make me see if he was kind and thought of me first.

Oh yes he put all the gentlement gestures to practice with me.

 

He held the car door open for me, he put on a nice vest for the first dates, he was always polite.

 

Then time after time, those gestures went away. In the back of my mind I always knew they would fade away, but I let myself get pampered by him.

 

It's a man's way to win over a woman. And sometimes it works.

My recent ex was a gentleman in the beginning, until the honeymoon period was over and the lies started. However, he still used to make me switch which side of him I was walking on when we walked next to a road. He made sure he was closest to the traffic...I always thought that was nice :)
