Chivalrous Behaviours and Acts – How to be the Knight in Shining Armour Your Woman Desires?

It often fascinates me how many men today don’t know how to be chivalrous!

I find that a lot of guys these days don’t know these common courtesies that are essential to picking up, courting, impressing women, and winning their hearts. It’s every women’s dream to marry a Prince Charming so learn to be one!

Here’s a quick run-down for those who need a lesson:

10 Chivalrous Acts Women Look for on First Dates and even “Happily Ever After”

1) Getting out of the car and opening the car door for her as she gets in and out (and when she is exiting, you open the door for her first before you go for the trunk to get her stuff). Even if you’ve come to pick her up from her house, you should still get out of your car to open her door. Don’t be a lazy ass. You’d look hotter waiting for her leaning on your car vs. sitting down inside anyways.

2) Ladies first – whether it be walking through a crowd or entering/exiting a door, let her go first with your hand at her back, gently guiding her. With the door, reach for the handle before she does, and open it for her.

3) Help her put on and take off her coat or jacket.

4) Pull out her chair first and hold it for her while she sits down at the table.

5) Rush to help her if you see her carrying anything heavy, even if it’s her big bag-purse.

6) If you’re dining at an Asian place, it’s always courteous to help her refill her tea if you see it empty. She’ll be impressed too if she sees you refilling Elders’ tea – it shows you have manners.

7) Act like you care and ask her questions often to check-in on how she feels (i.e. How are you feeling? Would you like something to eat? Could I get you something to drink?)

8) Helping her onto a train / tram / truck (where she has to step up or step down)

9) Give her a hand when she’s stepping on uneven surfaces (i.e. walking through rocks to get to a beach, walking through a forested trail where there are lots of roots, or stepping down a steep incline). As you are giving her a hand, make sure not to rush your step and not to walk faster than she can. Be considerate of the shoes she is wearing!

10) On a cold night out, if she looks like she’s cold, don’t ASK her if she wants your jacket – you should just take it off and put it on her.
