How many men here are old School? Be honestscold Who still holds doors open for others, and not just on the first few dates? Who actually takes the time to open the door of a car for your woman instead of just clicking the remote unlockdoh (That doesn't count guys)scold There's a few I don't do, but I wasn't raised with pushing the chair in. So what else do you do that would make you old school?
Please and thank you are tops are my list. Hand holding. Letting the lady order first or at least order for her after you discussed it. Ladies, what are some of the qualities you miss, or would like to experience?

well, for one, a guy that HAD a car would be nice...a good experience.

one that HAD a job would be a plus...

as far as pushing my chair in, I would not trust you to do thatscold

a guy that didn't talk with his mouth full would be good.

hey, one that made EYE contact is another one.

love letters are always niceblushing

an intelligent mind/great conversationalist is tops

I don't want to wait until he opens the car doordevil
that's a bit controlling/claustrophobic an all....

let me out!!! damnitblues

Oh BND you are a gent

even though I am independant I think its a sign of manners to be a gentleman, as well as respect for elders, I still offer my seat to the elderly when I am on public transport cheering thumbs up

It depends on her as to how I respond.
If she is a Lady I will open doors and the like, and if she is trailer trash, Then I have Kitty Litter

You know it's funny Charlie, It seems women are just so used to being independent, or alone, it's like I have to race them to the door. I've caught myself a few times saying, "Let me be the man"dunno

Well

There are a few Ladies out there still, but far and few between, in todays society they don't have time to be pampered with all the equal rights they have, now they are finding out what it's like to work and be a man with the wrong equipment.
Unfortunately equal rights killed the days of Chivalry , but it's nice to do thing's like that for them and get the looks of why is he doing this for me attitude.

I don't miss the Old days, just the Old ways, and I do love an Independent woman.

Hand holding, opening the door, coming into the kitchen while i cook and lending a hand, or just talk to me, come up and just give a hug fo no reason, going to the mivies and getting 2 sodas and 1 popcorn, and knowing that its ok to reach in and get some. I have always let the man order after we have discussed what we want. What i miss most is the cuddling at night. the snuggles, I guess i miss the human contact...

I was just wondering if men forgot how to act like gentlemen. I've seen one guy open the car door for a woman in 10 years. This was a young couple. I thought it was cool.thumbs up

Very old school on this end. In addition to some of the things you list, I would add always taking the street/traffic side of a sidewalk - a mild sort of protection mode. My ex noticed this practice after a little while and asked - she was thrilled...
