What's happening to chivalry?

Where did it go?

When did gentlemanly acts or just plain kindness & manners become considered "lame", "stupid", or even "gay"?

When did such beautiful things such as; flowers, compliments, manners, & surprise gifts that aren't just given for holidays, get thrown out the window?

Why is it so hard for one person to want to show another person love & appreciation?

Why are these things belittled?

Nobody is asking for 30 carat gold or expensive jewelry, nobody wants you to run out in the freezing rain at midnight to bring them a late night drink from Starbucks, nobody is saying, "Give me everything you have." What we are simply saying is that showing a little appreciation towards us and showing that we don't have to just dream about having a good relationship, is all we ever really want.

Goodnight or good-morning texts.
Random compliments, that don't have to be fished out of the person.
Picked flowers from a field or a yard.
Questions like "How was your day?" Or "Do you need anything?" Or "Do you wanna try to hang out again sometime soon?"
Tell them things about yourself that most people don't know.
Show them things you've never shown anyone before.
Take them places. Nothing expensive, just a place that's different from the same ole scenery.
Let them know how you feel about them.
Smile with them.
Make them laugh.
Discuss their favorite topics even if it's not really your thing.
Be patient with them. They'll show you enough of them when it's the right time.
Go on a walk.
Go to the park.
Eat an ice-cream.
Tell jokes.
Hold hands.
Hug.
Sing.
Race.
Tickle.
Giggle.
Watch clouds.
See the stars.

Kiss.

Just be a better you. Don't change yourself, but don't let what you're normal everyday self is like get in the way of giving your person what they deserve.

Be a better you for you, for them.
