- If the weather is cool, and especially if it‘s obvious that she‘s cold, offer your jacket.
- As a general rule, it is polite and gentlemanly to hold the door for anybody who is following you closely, especially the elderly.
- If it’s raining, hold the umbrella.
- If you are sitting at a table with a woman or women, stand up when one arrives or leaves the table.
- If it’s icy or pouring rain, play valet and go get the car so she doesn’t have to brave the elements.
- When walking with her, take the side closest to the street. She won’t risk being splashed by puddles as cars drive by and it removes her from the dangers of traffic.
- Pick her up. Unlike offering to drive a girl home, picking her up doesn’t imply surreptitious intentions.
- You should always offer to walk, drive or cab her home.
- If you do drive her home, get out of your car when you get to her house. Open her car door.
- Even if you just run into an acquaintance on the street, introduce her.
Following these simple acts will prove that chivalry is not dead. It may also get you some cool points from some of the ladies. Good luck!
