Chivalry in the 21st century?

My boyfriend does when we go out but not on a daily basis. I love gentlemanly men!

Hey drsparkle, Well my boyfriend is so sweet. He makes me feel like a princess really. He always holds doors open for me and the thing that sweeps me off my feet is when he would get out of a vehicle and put out his hand for me to grab and help me out of the car. He does this alot but not always. I think it's just natural and he knows I like it so that probably makes him do it even more. I like guys who are gentlemen-like and still know how to have fun and I act like a lady sometimes. I was a bit of a tomboy growing up and always hung out with guys, but I am starting to become more lady-like each day.

Well let's see. I believe that men should still be gentlemanly at times, not all the time if they do not wish to be. I also think that they should only be gentlemanly if the lady is lady like, or if the lady shows respect. This is in no way saying that I condone any mal behavior on the part of the male, but I do think that people should be treated as they want to be treated. My fiance is very gentlemanly in his own respect and although he does not hold doors open for me or pull in my seat at a restaurant (as we sit in booths anyway) he is respective of me and kind to me.
