12 Perks of Dating a Gentleman

Gentlemen are a rare breed in today’s day and age, but if you know what to look for, you can spot them pretty easily. A handful of us are lucky to have one all to ourselves, even though we all truly deserve one. So, whether you have your own prince, or want to know what one is like, here are 12 perks of having a true gentleman in your life.

1. Honesty is just as important to him as it is to you.

You don’t ever have to doubt if what he says is true or not, simple as that.

2. He would bend over backwards just to see you smile.

But, thankfully, most of us aren't that needy all the time!

3. He loves to surprise you.

Whether it’s tickets to see your favorite band, or he was thinking of you when he stopped by the store earlier, so he picked up your favorite candy for you -- he’ll brighten your day however he can because he truly wants to.

4. Commitment doesn’t scare him.

Defining the relationship or meeting the parents are things he actually looks forward to, because he loves being part of your life, just like you love being apart of his!

5. He doesn’t ridicule you.

Whether it be during an argument or when he’s with his buddies, you don’t have to worry about any name calling or put downs coming from him.

6. You don’t have to worry about running to the car in the pouring rain.

As small of a gesture as it seems, it shows that he’ll go through trouble just to make things a little easier for you.

7. He follows through on what he says he’s going to do.

He doesn’t make empty promises just to keep you happy for the moment; rather, he keeps his promises to you through his actions.

8. You don’t have to worry about what kind of impression he’s making.

He has manners and morals and that’s easy for even complete strangers to see.

9. Jealously is a thing of the past.

He knows that, contrary to popular belief, jealously is not a healthy aspect of any relationship and does his best to avoid it at all costs.

10. He stays by you through your highs and your lows.

He understands that there will be tough times ahead for both of you, but that rough patches are no excuse to bolt. He sees difficulties as a way to strengthen the bond between you two!

11. He supports your ambitions.

He not only respects the goals you set for yourself, but also encourages you to go after them! Real gentlemen don’t feel inferior to an ambitious partner.

12. Everything is simple with him.

And you wonder how you ever did life without him by your side in the first place.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.
