Chivalry is Not Dead

Continuing with our theme of being a gentleman, let me suggest that chivalry is not dead. At least it shouldn't be. Chivalry is a collection of attributes, including being courteous, generous and polite. Here are some ways that you can demonstrate chivalry in your own relationship:

1. Open a door for her – the car, the restaurant.
2. Help her with her coat (on and off).
3. Wait to eat your meal until her food arrives or until she is seated.
4. Ask if she needs anything or if there is anything you can do for her.
5. Offer your jacket if she is cold. If you’re at home, get her a blanket.
6. Offer your seat. She should NEVER have to stand while you sit.
7. Offer your hand or arm – especially in bad weather.
8. Give up your umbrella, you’re not sugar, you won’t melt. At the very least, share the umbrella.
9. Walk her to her car.
10. Offer to carry her packages.

That's 10 ways to demonstrate chivalry. What others can you think of?
