how to tell he's a gentleman:

if the guy is a gentleman, these are just a few things you will observe:

1. he gives you no more than 2 compliments an outing/date. now, more than 3 gives the impression of a little insecurity, with him believing he must win you over (or get the panties) with tons of compliments...too much is corny.

2. if he stands up to shake your parents' hand...very respectable.

3. he takes you somewhere where the entrees start at around $30...this insinuates he doesn't mind spending a little money on you...kinda generous

4. a couple oldie but goodies, he opens the door for you all the time, not just in front of your folks and he insists on paying for the date...chivalry is never dead

5. and my favorite, and the test a lot of guys actually fail: if yall are walking around somewhere and he purposely guides you to the inside of the sidewalk away from the street, and he walks on the side closest to the street...he is such the gentleman......again, he must do this on purpose, not just happen to already be on the outside

this checklist can actually be completed on the first date...good luck! (oh, p.s. don't waste too much time on lame jokers, they're so unworthy!)
