Launch when ready.

You hear it all the time from women, complaining how chivalry is dead nowadays, that men don't understand what we really want out of a relationship. I, for one, am glad this time has come. Of course chivalry is dead; it's an outdated code used by medieval knights, for crying out loud, not a modern day code on dating etiquette. Why is there so much pressure on men to be measured against an unattainable goal?

Being a gentlemen, on the other hand, is not an outdated practice. Men can be sweet, caring, and respectful toward a woman without having to place her on an unreachable pedestal. And, in my humble opinion, it's drastically unfair that men are required to hold up all the responsibility throughout the dating spectrum. Men have to pay, must always open doors, must always pick the women up and take them home, and whilst I think that's lovely, surely we're beyond that point now? It's great when you're dating someone who cares about you, so realistically, they would of course ensure you get home safe, and do things for you. But it should be because they want to, not because they feel somewhat obliged to.

I'm sure many men are now self-conscious about being a gentlemen and caring for a woman for fear of taking away from a woman's independence. some people have simply lost of the art of being a good date, but many men I've spoken to have agreed that they worry about how to treat a woman so as not to seem belittling to her, rather than just being a gracious human being.

On this point, with all these women talking about how they want to stop being treated like fragile little girls, and gain some empowerment, why don't you take a bit of control? Take your boyfriend/husband/spouse out on a date. Send them flowers. Surprise them with things. It's a two way street now, ladies.
