You deserve to date a gentleman. If a man act disrespectfully, then you should show him the door. Meanwhile, if he does the following respectful things, you should never let him go:
1. He Makes Sure You Get Home Safe
He'll either drive you home or walk you home. If he's unable to do those things, he'll send you a text to make sure you got home safely.
2. He Actually Listens
When you speak, he should actually listen to your words. Nodding his head along while scrolling through his phone isn't going to cut it.
3. He Offers to Pay
He doesn't have to pay for every meal, because you can afford to cover the tab. Of course, he should always make the offer.
4. He Calls when He Says He Will
If he tells you he's going to call, he actually calls. He never lies, even about the little things.
5. He Tells You He Loves You
If he loves you, he shouldn't hesitate to say the words. He should give you affection whenever he sees you.
6. He Doesn’t Talk down to You
He shouldn't call you an idiot or act like you're inferior in any way. You two are equals.
7. He Gets to Know Your Parents
If he really likes you, he'll be happy to get to know your family and friends. It's important for him to get close to the people close to you.
8. He Gives Genuine Compliments
When he compliments you on your outfit, you can tell he really means it. He would never lie to you.
9. He Doesn't Tell His Friends about Your Sex Life
Your private life should stay private. Even though he wants to tell his buddies about how good you are in the bedroom, he keeps that information to himself.
10. He Holds Open Doors for You
When you walk into a restaurant together, he should grab the door and hold it open for you. He should also pull out your chair and open your car door whenever he has the chance.
11. Shows up to Dates on Time
If he tells you he'll meet you at 8, he'll show up at 8. He doesn't leave you waiting.
12. He's Kind to Waiters
He doesn't act like he's better than the people serving him. In fact, he's just as sweet to your waiter as he is to you.
13. He Remembers Special Occasions
He'll never let your anniversary or your birthday go by without buying you a gift. He remembers important dates.
14. He Walks Closest to the Curb
When you take a walk down the street, he walks closest to the curb, so you don't get hit by a car or splashed by a puddle. It's the gentlemanly thing to do.
15. He Gives You His Jacket
When you start shivering, he'll take off his jacket and offer it to you. He wants to make sure you're comfortable.
16. He Gives up His Seat for Old Ladies
If he's sitting on a crowded bus or a train, he'll give up his seat for an elderly woman or a pregnant woman. He puts others before himself.
17. He Says Please and Thank You
He has manners. That's why he always says please and thank you.
You don't want to settle for a disrespectful man. Does your man do all of these gentlemanly things?
