I had a date tonight, and, as I see more and more as the norm, he had bad manners. Based on that alone I don't think I could like him because it was along the lines of inconsideration. Such as going to the bar, just wandering off, without saying so and not asking if I want anything....and I don't mean that he would have to pay for it. Just regular stuff I do with others, no matter the relation.
I hold doors for all people and walk others to their cars. I am getting none of this from many dates.
These guys are in their 30s though. I am in my 40s. I don't know if it is a generational thing. Even if they don't like me such disrespect is baffling.
Or maybe I am just a stick in the mud who is hung up on manners and should only date the elderly if I want manners.
Lack of manners has just really turned me off of dating. I want to leave in the middle of some of these dates because I doubt their manners will get better as the evening wears on.

Anyone see the same? Have opinions?
I agree. Been there, even with men my age (40s). I say hold put for what you want. Don't accept any less. They're out there. I snagged a gem after a lifetime of duds.
Try being in your twenties I feel like common courtesy died out and the majority of people are just clueless. Every date I go on, my cat looks more and more attractive as a life partner! lol, actually though...
Well, some douche is going to come in here and call me a white knight or some crap, but I am 32, and believe me, chivalry, or being a gentelman, isn't dead.

Not for me anyway.
I guess my momma raised me right.
It's just being considerate. Besides, if you're into her, you're going to want to impress her. Those extra frills go a long way towards that goal.
