In today's generation you walk around and see a couple get into a car. You see the man hop in the driver's side and his girl go into the passenger side. What is wrong with this picture?
Me personally, I think he should have opened the door for her. Its not just common courtesy, but shows respect to you're girl. Its like this respectful obligation to be a Gentlemen died away to never be found again. Its as if men have become more like teenagers and less like Gentlemen.
There is nothing wrong with opening the door for you're girl, surprising her with random date nights and what not. Its as if all of this has faded away and just become a figment of their imagination. Today, there are fewer and fewer gentlemen out there who do these these things. Its like a fad, slowly becoming non-existent.
Is it the thought that others called you whipped? The thought of this for men may scare them, they don't want to be known as being whipped. They want to be known as a man, so they become less and less of a gentlemen to keep there manly persona.
The gentlemen must have respect for himself. Once he has got a firm grasp on this then he can turn to give respect to his woman and others around him. The lack of doing these simple things for you're woman has me sickened and confused. It really shows that you lack the respect to even show a little consideration to be a man and do these little things. These show no matter what, you are there for her, you respect her and would do anything to be there for her. It doesn't mean you are whipped! It shows that you are more of a man than the one behind you who does the opposite of this!
Take her on random adventurous trips, go have a picnic, heck go see a movie! Show her you are always there and you care. Don't think she doesn't notice these either, the littlest things like this can really make her whole day. Hold her hand, show everyone you aren't afraid to show your girl off. Let her be you're number one priority. Don't be afraid to make her smile, just be yourself and she'll love you regardless.
Don't let being Old Fashioned become non-existent. Open that door, take her on a date, do the little things and don't worry what others think of it. It's you're life, not theirs. Make every moment count and keep you're girl happy. If she's happy, I know you are too. Men, bring back being old-fashioned, its the least you could do for the one you love.
