Gentlemen, never shy away from being a little…
“Gentlemen, never shy away from being a little old-fashioned towards your lady in love and romance. Bear her your heart and soul. Don't use her for sex. Take things slow. Take strolls on the beach together. Date. Wine and dine her. Ballroom dance. Hold her hand in public. If she is The One never let her go. Walk on the traffic side of the pavement. Protect her. Buy her flowers. Remember her birthday, important dates and anniversaries. Pay attention to details. Don't be together if you aren't planning to spend the rest of your lives together. Put a Promise Ring on her ringless finger. Write her love letters. Or if musically inclined, love songs or poems. Gaze into her eyes, assuring her just how much you love her, and just how special and beautiful she is to you, every day! Kiss her Good Morning and Good Night. Love her intensely and deeper than the ocean floor. Be human. Be a man.”
