I am a hopeless romantic,I love to romance a woman and get to know her.I love to do the romantic things for a woman. SO why is it that women these days have only 2 things on their minds (1) how much can you do for me? (2)how good are you in bed.I now talk a whole lot before i meet someone so as to save us both the embarrassment of me getting up and excusing myself and making a quick exit.I know that sounds cruel but is it really?I cannot and will not sleep with someone based on looks,and i am definitely not a sugar daddy.What does it take for a true gentleman to just find and date a lady? Where do you girls hide and why?

Yes there are, we usually aren't the ones that do the chasing though... Those 'old fashioned' values and morals that our parents instilled in us. My most memorable dates were those where my doors were opened for me and I was treated like a lady. Those are few and far between anymore.

I will give you the advice my late husband and my father gave my daughter. In this day and age if you are looking for a true Gentleman then you will have to kiss a lot of toads. I am afraid that it holds true for the gentleman that is looking for a true Lady. What I have found is that the word woman now days does not mean Lady. Try using the word Lady to replace woman. Many females will be very open and say thy are no lady's. I hope this helps.

I believe that many ,are not conscious,,,if a man is a gentleman it's a decision to be and stay.....not just a brief show at the beginning of a romance, but a way to be,,always...and if a woman wants a gentleman , then chances are she would be a gentlewoman,,once again ,,,a conscious decision.....I believe there are men and women out there that are....and yes women love to have the doors opened, and concern for their well-being,and romantic evenings, and lovely candlelit dinners with gentlemen....at least the ladies I know,do.

I am far from being a gold digger but I will request that a man is able to do for me what I can do for myself. He has to be able to bring to table what I bring or more. You can still be a true gentleman and take care of your lady. So many woman settle for less, then they wonder why they are unhappy. Woman are so quick to think they are in love with a man, let a man move in with them, pay their bills etc. and know nothing about him just to say they are in a relationship.

What do you mean by gentlemen? I think most women who are interested enough to date you want you to treat her nicely. Some girls, however, just want a guy that will buy her things, some just want to sleep around and some like guys that treat them like chit. Being a gentlemen, however, only goes so far. Women want a man that's respected and give them stability, a provider if you will.

True gentlemen are very difficult to find these days.
I'm looking for a gentleman who isn't just a "gentleman" for awhile to impress. Even after we've been together for many years...he will always be a gentleman because of his genuine respect and care for women...and especially because of the way he cherishes me as his partner.
True gentlemen are real gems and a rare find.

WOMEN DO WANT A GENTLEMAN BUT THEY ARE HARD TO FIND.I was raised that a man opens the car door for you and waits for you to sit down before he sits. But I can't tell you the last time it happened on a date. The closest thing that I come accross is exiting the local gas station and the older gentleman waits for you to walk out so he can have a better look at your backside.

The problem is, you are not compatible with these women. But give them a credit, at least they are being honest and upfront with you, rather than playing games, and then you'll find out later on, after having wasted some time, that you are incompatible for this very reason. It happens on both sides, some men are looking for the same things that the women you'd met. We probably have to get them together  .

When you find the answer, please let me know..
I am in the same boat as you are and she is taking on water faster then I can bail it out....
I think that its becasue women do not know what to do with a person such as you and I. It scares the hall out of them and they run for the hills, only to relize what they had when its to late...

Yes, there are females out there who would love to have a gentleman pick them up at the door and bring a single rose or carnation as guys did many moons ago. It tells me that he went an extra step to give of himself, and believe me that will warm the heart better than even words.
I consider it a compliment when someone calls me a "lady". I prefer to be called lady friend than girl friend as well. Do not change your ways, just be patient for the one who will appreciate you for YOU.

I think it has to do with how your parents raised you. My dad told me if you ever hit a woman I would have to fight him...never fought him. Holding the door for a woman comes natural to me, and I don't check out your a** either. Pulling out a chair at dinner also, but once again alot of women don't know why I do this. I have learned if they are in there early 30's or younger it's just a waste of time. It makes me mad sometimes to see a nice looking woman with a guy with no manners. But all and all I am and will always be a gentleman, it's in the blood.

That is certainly true I think and sadly to find such a treasure in todays society is rare. Men donot seem to have the same kind of etiquette they once did when women were considered to be treated deligately. I thankfully have the honors of living in a small town where its common to never have to open a door or to have a gentlemen wait for you to get to the door holding it for you. I say a true classic should never die and if its not broken why try to fix it.

I think women do appreciate a gentlemen,just as men appreciate a woman knowing how to be a "lady".Its a shame some women don't know how to be ladies any more.Where have all the ladies gone in American? And why are there so many of you that are and use the phrase"hopeless romantic",what is up with that lame phrase? Are there any true "hopefull romantic's out there? When there are real ladies,you'll see real gentleman. God gave women what he couldn't give men,and thats "femininity" and thats 1 of the greatest gifts God gave to women.But some women today have lost that "feminine" touch. The way they dress,walk,talk and that feminine beauty that a lady knows she has,that a woman doesn't know about.Where's the hosiery,high heels,softness,under garments,camisoles,soft lingerie,the nice dresses,the hair styles...etc. Thats what gentlemen don't see any more. Because the "femininity" is missing so much out there today!

I can't tell you how much I appreciate it when a man treats me like the lady I deserve to be treated as. That does not mean I want him to roll out the red carpet for me every time I move. It's nice though when you talk to a man and his coversation does not go straight to sex, what are you wearing, do you like to kiss, etc. I think if there is something you wouldn't say to your mother, daughter, neice, grand daughter, or sister, you definately shouldn't say it to a complete stranger. When a man gives me respect I don't forget that.

Oh I sure do. There are true gentleman out there just some may be intimated by some of us women who are a little too independent and liberated. There has to be a happy medium. A true gentleman deserves a true polite, appreciating lady. It is so romantic to have a man treat you with respect and for him to appreciate the woman he is with. Good vibrations creates good feedback. A gentleman should always be a gentleman but if there is also chemistry then you can get lost in a whirl of romance.
Girls don't hind out, you may just have a string of bad luck or maybe you need to work on your insight. But if it's meant to be for you it will be. So be patient.

It's not a question of if a woman still appreciates a gentleman. It's a question of a woman finding a gentleman or a gentleman finding a woman. A gentleman or the type of woman a gentleman is looking for does not meet at bars or clubs. When a gentleman does put himself out on the line and ask a woman out, he gets shot down. Because he is automatically assumed to be using a line or being a player. So women are stuck dating players or jerks. Then the "gentleman" is tired of being alone so he changes into a player or jerk because of being rejected. As they say nice guys do finish last

I am realizing now that I am dating again and my tastes have changed what a wonderful thing it is when you encounter a gentleman. I recently met a DH man and he was so different from what I have had in the past. It's those memories that make me smile since he lives too far away to anticipate anything more. I've never been romanced for the sincere reason of romance. I've been told all the things he thought I wanted to hear to get the end result. I am looking forward to what comes next.

I really dont date much,,but i have found that alot of women get awkward when
dealing with a true gentleman(yes i fit that definition,normally)
i am non-chauvinistic but old school,,polite,respectful, holding and opening doors ect.
some have expressed that my behavior is corny or wierd ect.
and i wont lie to get my way nor just to tell them what they want to hear
i do of course have my wild , down n dirty side when appropriate,,
and sometimes when not,,oh well
momma didnt raise no punk here,,
and it seems thats all that some are used to dealing with these days,
but i would rather be alone than have little or no standards,,

Ok just noticed a pattern that most of the Ladies that cared enough to reply to this post are late 30's and up. Does this mean that a guy being a gentleman between 20-35yrs of age is just wasting his time till he ages and finds a more mature Lady? Or just that most ladies 20-35 are too busy enjoying the ride with the jerks and never notice the Gentleman they claim to want? Thanks for your time.

What is a hopeless romantic to you? Most women love to be romanced. It's the little tender moments that count. It's a mystery to me about, what is true romance.
When I think I'm being romanced - then suddenly it's about sex! So, why do men have one thing on their minds?
I enjoy the courtship of talking, and the modern day chatting & texting. It's fun to be interrupted during the day with a cute text message. It usually brings a smile to my face. Mostly women choose who they sleep with and I choose not to sleep with someone based on looks or there money.
You asked; "What does it take for a true gentleman to just find and date a lady"? Would it be possible that your idea of a gentleman is only surface deep and that your intentions are truly to satisfy the male ego?
