Be respectful to women as you part ways in the evenings. Offer to walk her to her door or car if at all possible. If your girl has to park far away from her dorm or home, always offer to drive her to and from your destination.
Make the effort to at least walk her to the door or to her car, whatever the case may be. Use caution around old traditions. It can be tricky to know exactly which courteous traditions to follow and which ones to forgo. What is appropriate in the place and era of "Downton Abbey" may or may not be right today in your circumstances. In general, just be sensitive to a lady's modern independent sensibility, and if she looks uncomfortable with your actions, back off a little.
Here are some other traditions that were formerly seen as gentlemanly, which are beginning to lose steam: [7] X Research source Reaching for a check at a restaurant. Helping her with her coat.
Standing when a woman enters the room. Offering a woman your seat. Part 4. Be selfless. Remember to keep doing nice things for your girlfriend when you're around her.
If she's carrying something, pick it up when she puts it down and always kindly let her know you want to help by saying "oh, let me get that for you", whatever the object is. Remember, being selfish is not attractive. If you are watching television with your girl and you know she likes a particular show or sporting event, leave it there. She will appreciate that little bit of selflessness more than you know. Take note — if she seems annoyed when you try to carry things for her or help her out, then you may want to back off and give her help when she really needs it, not just symbolically.
Give her unexpected gifts. It can be nice to show up with a card or a flower, and not just for holidays. Expensive and showy doesn't matter; it's the effort. Though candy and flowers are nice, personalized gifts are even nicer. Give her lots of affection. If you really like your girlfriend, let her know it through loving touches. To be a real gentleman, you should move slowly, and wait until the girl is ready before you try anything beyond kissing.
True gentlemen are proud to be seen with their girlfriends and give them lots of affection, even if their friends are around. Stand up for your girl. Don't go around punching everyone who looks at her sideways, but if anyone is giving her looks or unwanted advances, intervene.
Put your arm around her shoulder and move yourselves away, or go to her and speak up for her. The physical contact reassures her and lets the aggressor know that he's got to deal with both of you.
You should not threaten to beat the guy up or call him names. Instead, take the high road and find a classy way to tell him to back off. The only time you talk about your girlfriend to your friends is to praise her or to genuinely ask for their advice in a given situation. The key to being a gentleman is to have respect for all people. Having sex or getting more intimate may not seem like a big deal to you, but every woman has her own limits and her own ideas of what she wants to do with her body.
A true gentleman lets the woman make the calls of how far she wants to go and never makes her feel guilty or bad for not doing what he wants. He takes the time to listen to a woman and has the patience to wait for the one who is worth it. As soon as one can walk and talk, as a gentleman can easily be crafted from the beginning. Or, a gentleman can be made from the moment one makes a decision to follow this path. Not Helpful 25 Helpful Do I need to have a good shape to be a gentleman?
Not many gentle people have 6 packs. Or do they? Being a gentleman is not about the shape, it's about the personality and sometimes the way you dress and definitely about how you carry yourself. To be a gentleman, be kind, loving, thoughtful and strong. It is all about the perfect manners. But there's no harm in having a six pack and being a gentleman if that's what you prefer. Not Helpful 20 Helpful Be gracious. This will let her know you care and, if followed up with a conversation starter or smile, can let them know you are interested.
Not Helpful 11 Helpful If a close friend is in a fight and needs help, should a gentleman get involved? A true gentleman should stand with his friends on any confrontation. Of course, no gentleman is without critical thinking skills, and will therefore judge each situation on its context rather than assuming that there is one rule to apply at all times.
Not Helpful 21 Helpful Have good hygiene and be polite. Open doors for female teachers and administrators and fellow students. Speak respectfully to your teachers. Some high school boys act rude to look 'cool' -- avoid this as much as possible. Not Helpful 14 Helpful Absolutely not. It's more appealing to everyone if you are kind and thoughtful. Money only matters to people who are not worth your time.
However, this is not an excuse to be a layabout or to spend all your money and never save. A gentleman earns his own keep and squirrels away money for a rainy day. Not Helpful 15 Helpful Do take time to find appropriate clothes that fit you, because it shows that you care about your appearance. Not Helpful 10 Helpful Always introduce the younger person to the elder. Say something along the lines of "Sir, this is Bobby. He is my little brother," rather than "Bobby, this is Mr.
Not Helpful 7 Helpful Respect the other person and his ideas. Really listen when he is talking. Don't allow things on your end to devolve into name-calling or aggression, even if the other person goes there. Not Helpful 5 Helpful Of course not. To be a gentleman is simply to be courteous. Be gracious and understanding, like you would want to be treated in return. Subservience is not needed from either person.

Basic hygiene and a clean appearance is important, but a gentleman should not be obsessed with his looks. Helpful 2 Not Helpful 0. Helpful 0 Not Helpful 0.
Always smile and maintain eye contact with whoever you're talking to. This creates an emotional bond between the both of you. Helpful 1 Not Helpful 0. Don't ever honk when coming to pick up someone for a date, always walk up to the door and knock or ring the doorbell. When talking, give the person speaking your undivided attention. And if they have something to add to the conversation, always be a good listener. When insulted, do your best not to retort.
Chances are you'll only provoke the other person, making a fight far more likely. Excuse yourself, but don't act scared either. You don't have to be dressed well to be a gentleman. While it does help, an everyday working gentleman is very appealing. This shows you are being intentional and thoughtful.
But if she clearly states she would rather help herself then, of course, let her do so. And never walk ahead of your companion. These simple gestures are protective, caring and demonstrates that you value them as an equal. At the end of an evening spent with friends, family or a significant other at your home, walk guests to the door. If appropriate, walk them to their car. Put away your phone and listen to what your companion has to say.
In this day and age, when the stream of information is constant, giving your full attention to someone and listening really shows your love and respect. Interrupting is rarely justified. Allow them to finish their thought before beginning your own. Running late also adds extra stress on yourself, which can affect your mood and how you treat other people.
Always carry the umbrella. No umbrella? Extra points if you keep a clean, spare jacket or blanket in your car. Instead, there are certain characteristics and traits that you should aim to embody in order to become the decent, debonair gentleman. Brace yourself, gents: hard truths await. No gossiping. No spreading of scandalous rumours, or of speaking ill of others. A real gentleman always protects the integrity of both himself and those around him — so that means embodying the utmost discretion, and keeping any affairs or confrontations a tight-lipped secret.
Nobody likes a bad-mouth. Work for your luxuries, and your achievements will taste even sweeter. A gentleman knows that you only get what you give: and rightly so. Not too much — no-one likes to see a grown man moonwalking at a family wedding. Instead, you need just enough footwork to ensure you can confidently hold the floor. When a gentleman spots another person — man, woman, young, elderly — struggling with something heavy, they help them with it. It could be in an airport, a train station, or the stairwell in your building; wherever.
You should never, ever leave your nearest and dearest hanging.
