Anyone still like some of the old fashion ways?I know I do.Like opening
the door for a lady.Flowers for now reason.A man is suppose to treat a
lady with curt`sy and respect.I still like some of the old fashion ways
in a relationship.What is some of the old fashion things you like?

I don't know if it's old fashioned thinking or not, but I believe good
manners are very important. Treating others with respect or common
courtesy is important as well.

I'm very old fashioned thinking...I beleive the door should be held open
for me, heavy stuff should be carried for me...but I also believe it is
the woman's responsibility to take care of the home, not without a lil
help from the man of course. I beleive woman are meant to have long
hair and men are meant to be "men"....those are some of my thoughts!

I am happy to see that someone still thinks of the old fashioned ways. I
too like that. You just don't see that very much anymore. I like sweet
surprises like dinner being prepared for you just before getting home
after a long days work. I especially like the warm feeling of holding
hands while out walking. Some guys just aren't into that.

i agree with nygal....I think 2 out of 10 guys do the ole fashion
things...u dont see it much anymore...sad...

Holding hands such a small thing that means so much.
It shows affection.The people who aren't into that.Well there the one's
missing out.

I'm old school too, crash!

I was brought up with manners and also brought up by the switch if I
didn't follow them.

I'm more old fashioned that most I meet. I am very romantic and my soul
is fed my old fashioned care and comfort when I give it and when I
receive.

I was taught the old fashioned ways and they come in handy when I am
working with the old folks. I have some real sweethearts that live
there. I especially like this one old lady who like most have one form
of dementia or another. But even with dementia laughter is still good
medicine. She calls me hon and the thank yous and you are welcome come
in handy. It is fun the way we start off our greeting day the same since
she has Alzheimer's. She will say, "I am so sorry that I am helpless"
and I will reply, "That's ok I am hopeless." And then she will say, "Why
you are crazier than I am." I then reply, "Coming from you I take that
as a compliment." Then I take her by the hand and she says, "Thank you,
hon." And I reply, "You're welcome, hon."

KitCat I'm right there with you. Unfortunately, it's hard to find men
OR women with those qualities these days. Also, it's different in
different parts of the country, but down here in South Florida, it's
actually difficult to find people who appreciate those values. Down
here, it seems like men only want hoochie mama *****es. Maybe I need to
move!

I'll hold the door open for you.

Most "old ways" I call basic manners. We seem to have lost the teaching
of manners, in our homes today. I think "RUDNESS" is one of the biggest
problems today. If everyone was a little more polite, it would make a
huge difference.

I'm probably living two centuries ago when it comes to politeness and
manners. I know when a stranger bothers to open a door for me it feels
good so it must feel good for the ladies to be treated with respect on a
date too.

How true Sage.

Treated with respect not just on a date but all the time.

yep and to add to your list.. i think it should be the guy to ask the
gal out on a date, and the guy to ask the woman to marry him, and the
woman to take the guys last name when marriage occurs.. far as the door
opening thing... yes it is very nice when a guy does that for the woman
but doesnt have to do it every time..

I agree, treated with respect all the time, and by everyone.
What happened to the days when every woman was treated like your mother
or your sister? It wasn't that long ago. But then the majority of real
men disappeared after the WWII generation. My father was one who was
all about respect, hard work, and being a man of honor. If I could just
continue his example by half it would still be half greater than most
men I encounter today.

Old Fashioned Ideas are the ways we as People should treat each other.
Respect for each other and like Mr.Crashere said for dating tips on how
men should treat a lady. Those things like flowers don't have to be all
the time but are nice and very much appreciated by most ladies. Always
a door should be held open or a chair pulled out for the lady you are
with..and Ladies after you get in the car you could reach across the
seat and pop open the door for you guy. I feel what it boils down to is
those first impressions are important and lasting, plus if you live it
you don't have to be nervous about messing up.
