Be A Gentleman... This weekend, I awoke to the sound of high heels clicking on the marble floor. It was a little before 5am. My neighbor's late night date was heading home. His door slammed shut, followed by soft footsteps. The elevator creaked as it made it's way up to the floor. The door opened, high heels clicked again before stepping in. A few seconds later my neighbor's door softly opened, then shut. Back to the warmth of his bed while late night date made her way to her car alone, on a dark soggy night. What happened to being a gentleman?! I thought. Has he not heard about the rash of crimes? I find it disappointing that some guys think it's cool not to open doors, pull out chairs or walk a date to her car. I say chivalry should NOT be dead. Some "old fashioned" principles never go out of style. A true lady should insist on nothing less.
