Gentlemen

So Steph and I were on the bus the other day and it was packed as usual. Go figure. Anyway, the first stop comes and a seat opens up for Steph. I stand there and this guy that had his seat near Steph stands up and walks toward where I was. I was like, "What's this guy doing?"... then he goes "You can have my seat." Wow... how nice of him. How many guys give up their seats nowadays? Like seriously? That's one quality in a guy that I totally like... chivalry.

On to my next point...Where have all the gentlemen gone? I feel like it's so rare to find a guy that will open my car door or pull out my chair. The ones that appear to be "gentlemen" don't keep it up for very long. It's more like a front for the first few months and then BAM! Comfort zone.

Part of the problem is our fault. We have to act like ladies and have less of an "independent" mentality. Even though I don't like coming off as needy, it honestly feels nice to be treated like a lady. Looks like it's time for me to change a little. :)
