My friend Dennie Smith has set up a dating agency called Old Style Dating in the UK. This woman really has her finger on the pulse because I believe dating is coming full circle.
People are sick of the rudeness and the impolite behaviour online dating is creating.
I’ve observed this for a lifetime. All the good dates that I’ve been on and the good ones that my friends have been on have involved great manners.
Even though people don’t really talk about it these days, everyone really loves good manners from what I can see.
For me I nearly automatically rule someone out if they are rude to me or somebody else
From the guy behind the shop counter that you are buying from, to the person you are going on a blind date with.
Think about it; whenever someone has been rude to you or treated you ignorantly, I bet it has been such a turn off. For me I nearly automatically rule someone out if they are rude to me or somebody else, as I feel it is a warning sign about that person’s character. I think this is because manners and respect go hand-in-hand.
It is not just his looks that make him great. He is a gentleman at heart
People that are charming always have nice manners. Think of George Clooney. Is he not one of the most-loved men on earth? It is not just his looks that make him great. He is a gentleman at heart. He stands out as being a man you would be safe and protected with. He is kind and caring. All these traits go along with someone who has manners.
I have to say I think it is bad manners to expect guys to pay for everything all the time
This is also why I am a big believer in not letting the guy pay for everything. If he pays for the meal, I feel the woman should offer to pay for the drinks when you move onto a bar for instance.
I have to say I think it is bad manners to expect guys to pay for everything all the time. You would not expect your best friend or sister to pay all the time when you go out together. Why should you expect that of your partner? It’s unfair.
The best dates people have told me they have been on are the ones where the woman and the man were respectful towards each other and took nothing for granted. They were the dates where the couple were mutually appreciative of the others efforts to arrange the date, look nice and genuinely listen to each other.
To me they are the expressions of good manners
Appreciation, effort and being enthusiastic are all constant themes that run through a great dating experience. To me they are the expressions of good manners. Believe me when I say manners are everything. Bring your manners on a date with you and you are halfway there to getting the love you want.
