Hi, first time commenting. Love your insights!

Things my husband has done since day one:

1. Open doors for me..any door.
2. When we walk on the sidewalk together, he is always on the curbside or whatever side is most dangerous.
3. He orders for me in restaurants, after consulting with me. (yes, even McDonald’s) LOL.
4. He sits facing the door in restaurants, because you never know these days. (though I don’t know if that’s more for him than for me LOL).
5. He holds all packages when we shop together, even if I protest.

Not sure where I learned these, but the etiquette includes pulling out a lady’s chair at a table/restaurant,not eating your food until the lady’s meal arrives, holding her (if in a relationship)hand while escorting her to a dance floor,and calling to see if she arrived home safely if there was separate transportation. One should also watch a lady (date, mother, sister)enter her home safely before driving away.

Holly: good ones! I’m not sure if this has been mentioned in this thread, but I think it’s cute that most guys I know will not let a lady do any heavy lifting

Seal: AMEN on Hugh. It should be illegal for one man to be so fine!

Sister Toldjah: Yes, I love that movie too. Hugh Jackman can do no wrong in my eyes. Unless he jumps on the hollywood bash Bush bandwagon.

LawWife: Thanks, I’m trying my best.

I’m coming in a little late to this discussion, but I gotta say, what a great subject to post!!!

All of the chivalrous items already posted are great, and I’ve got a few to add:

*Giving your lady your coat on a cold evening.
*Remembering important dates: IE anniversary of the day you met, your first date, etc.
*Not using foul language in the presence of a lady
*Thanking servers, store clerks, anybody who does anything for you, even if it is their job.
*Ordering for your lady at a restaurant, but make sure you know what she wants first — don’t assume. If you discuss the menu with her before the waiter gets there, you can’t go wrong.

Hmm — there are a ton more, but that’s all I can think of at the moment.

LB – Wouldn’t this be good info for a married man to follow? Especially with his wife? Married men probably needs to be reminded to get back on track. Yea – good info for married men too!

Wow what a lunch? I’m back.

LB – Yes I do have a business. Business is very good. I also dabble in Systems Engineering at a US Space Agency. I do that for fun (ok they pay for my services too) It’s the closest I’ll ever get to being a StarShip Captain

Ladies – GOOD info! Look at all these notes I have!

Hopefully I can remember all this. Oh the pressure!

“excuse me but may I make physical contact with you?” {SLAP} Hmmmmm. LawWife said that was the gentlemanly thing to do!
