I do admit it, a Gentleman ALWAYS catches my attenion (besides basketball skills that is). More than the physical attraction, it is his silent ways that really makes me remember a guy. Just a simple gesture of opening the door for you or going to the other side where the traffic is, just speaks volumes of how a guy is. I remember during my first months in college, I was very observant of this. No wonder I was quite shocked when some were not but even more, I become appreciative of those who were. Its not that I expect too much, but maybe I have always seen how my dad has treated us, especially with my mom. Its because, my dad has never failed to open the door for us, offered to hold our bags for us, among other things.

I don't know if its because of our Time now where everyone feels each is equal that we may have forgotten our old values. But whenever I see a gentleman, I could'nt help but smile to myself :) And I guess, that is one of the simple things I appreciate with my guy friends, but most especially with strangers. I remember one time, I was having a bad day but this guy who was sitting comfortably in his seat, despite the long ride and the traffic, willingly gave up his seat for me. And I feel that "All is not lost" :)I just believe that being a gentleman is not just about opening doors but more significantly, its a way of showing that you respect and care.

I may not always say how I feel, but I am definitely watching and observing ;)
