A Guide To Being A Southern Gentleman

Although Valentines Day was just last week, being a southern gentleman and knowing that we as ladies deserve to date southern gentlemen, never goes out of style.  A couple of days ago I found these two articles that provide today's generation of not so "polite" young men with a few tips to become a little more well-mannered in hopes of proving that chivalry isn't dead.  Unless you're extremely lucky, like I consider myself to be, to have a southern gentleman in your life, I suggest that you show these two articles to your boyfriend or guy friends.  They need to know that we're not going to lower our standards so they are going to need to up their game a little.

Here is the first article.  It's a video of the cutest little boy ever that shows college guys how to be gentlemen.  And it really is the cutest video.  This little guy was without a doubt raised right and though he may be young he is going to make one lucky lady very happy one day.

The second article is a little longer.  It gives a list of qualities that a real southern gentleman should have. However, it also goes into detail about the awful dating habits of men and women.  It discusses exactly what I said earlier, that women need to stop lowering their standards and men need to try a little harder.  We want to be taken out, wined and dined.  Granted you don't have to spend a ton of monday on us, but don't slack off especially after a few months into the relationship.  Sure, you might have impressed us on the first date, enough to go on a second and maybe even put a label on our relationship, but there should be many more dates after that.  Simply put: the romance should never stop.

So try a little harder guys, I promise it'll be worth it for us all in the long run.
