It’s not so often anymore that we see men behave in a gentlemanly way.
Living in a world where guys can ask for a hook-up when you’ve only just met or bragging who they’ve “hit it with” last night are enough reasons to think that chivalry -- is dead.
Women become so weary to enter the dating world out of fear of ending up with a total jerk.
And it’s just a breath of fresh air whenever we come across the nearly extinct, true gentleman. These rare species exude chivalry without even trying, grand gestures are not needed
It’s not about what you can give to a woman, but rather more on how you treat them. That is, showing her your utmost respect and making her feel out of harms way.
With that in mind, here are 9 simple gestures on how true gentlemen bring the chivalry back to life:
1. When he opens the doors for her
All girls and women should be treated as ladies. Opening the doors for her is not a gesture of condescension as what most would argue, but rather a sign of courtesy and deference.
2. When she feels cold and he gives her his jacket
This is a very thoughtful thing for a guy to do especially when it’s freezing. This shows that he cares for her and is genuinely showing concern for her well-being by putting her needs first. Plus points if he also places his arms around her.
3. When he walks closest to the curb
The idea behind this is to protect her from traffic, debris, and curbside calamity which again shows extra care and attention for her.
4. When he gives up his seat for her
This is not really necessary, but you have to admire a guy who can give up his own comfort for a girl.
5. When he is never rude to servers, bartenders or anyone else
You can easily distinguish a true gentleman with the way he treats other people. Making someone feel that he is inferior is ill-mannered, rude and down right offensive. Don’t do unto others what you don’t want others to do unto you.
6. When he kisses her forehead
There’s just something heart warming when a guy kisses you on the forehead. A simple, yet incredibly sweet way of expressing his fondness for you.
7. When he listens and pays attention to details
Paying attention to a girl and listening to her shows that a guy is genuinely interested with her. And would want to understand and know about her more.
8. When he’s good to your friends and family members
When a guy makes an effort to be nice towards your friends and family reveals his intention of being in it for the long haul. It proves that he wants to have a significant part in her life.
9. When he can suffer to watch a chick flick with his girl
To endure a whole girly show or movie that he knows she’ll enjoy, says that he wants to make her happy and would do anything to do so.
A woman’s happiness doesn’t need to cost that much, often times the littlest things are what means the most.
