1. He Always Pays

One of the signs your boyfriend is a gentleman is that he always pays. It isn’t wrong for you to pick up the tab every once in a while if you wish but a true gentleman would much rather that he be the one to foot the bill for any date you go on. A gentleman would never take a lady out without the means to pay for the date. This is one way of letting you know he cares for you.

A true gentleman is respectful and chivalrous, and often puts the needs of his partner before his own. He is kind, generous, and thoughtful, and is always willing to go the extra mile for the woman in his life. He is a strong, dependable partner who is loyal and honest.

Where Thoughts and Opinions Converge

He does all of them and I'm happy that I have him. Gentlemen are keepers, ladies! Dont let them go! 😊😊

my x forgot his wallet so often it wasn't true. He never opened the door for me nor carried groceries unless prompted. he is just about the meanest person with money I have ever come across. However, this only happened after we got hitched. if something seems too good to be true it usually is!

and a true gentleman does pay for everything it's been lost over the years and it really shows when a guy still does this ❤️👌😊

As for the last point - putting me before himself. What happens when food is more important than I am? :/

My bf is a gentleman to the fullest, but he def does not pay all the time, now if we were married that would be more understandable cuz his money is my money and vice versa, but just being my bf he has his own bills to take care of, so sometimes he pays, I pay, or he pays for himself and I pay for myself ;)

omg that just explained my bf I'm so happy

mine dies all this and more too!!! keeper!!!!

my boyfriend is all of those, he even doesnt want me to work, he always pay for everything

my boyfriend does all of these lovely things for me. I have only realised right now, I sometimes refuse to let him do these things. I will let him, he's a true gentleman :)

I'm very lucky, my husband of 28 years is all this and more. He is a real gentleman who encourages me every day. I'm blessed.
