12 Perks of Dating a Gentleman

Gentlemen are a rare breed in today’s day and age, but if you know what to look for, you can spot them pretty easily. A handful of us are lucky to have one all to ourselves, even though we all truly deserve one. So, whether you have your own prince, or want to know what one is like, here are 12 perks of having a true gentleman in your life.

1. Honesty is just as important to him as it is to you.

You don’t ever have to doubt if what he says is true or not, simple as that.

2. He would bend over backwards just to see you smile.

But, thankfully, most of us aren't that needy all the time!

3. He loves to surprise you.

Whether it’s tickets to see your favorite band, or he was thinking of you when he stopped by the store earlier, so he picked up your favorite candy for you -- he’ll brighten your day however he can because he truly wants to.

4. Commitment doesn’t scare him.

Defining the relationship or meeting the parents are things he actually looks forward to, because he loves being part of your life, just like you love being apart of his!

5. He doesn’t ridicule you.

Whether it be during an argument or when he’s with his buddies, you don’t have to worry about any name calling or put downs coming from him.

6. You don’t have to worry about running to the car in the pouring rain.

As small of a gesture as it seems, it shows that he’ll go through trouble just to make things a little easier for you.

7. He follows through on what he says he’s going to do.

He doesn’t make empty promises just to keep you happy for the moment; rather, he keeps his promises to you through his actions.

8. You don’t have to worry about what kind of impression he’s making.

He has manners and morals and that’s easy for even complete strangers to see.

9. Jealously is a thing of the past.

He knows that, contrary to popular belief, jealously is not a healthy aspect of any relationship and does his best to avoid it at all costs.

10. He stays by you through your highs and your lows.

He understands that there will be tough times ahead for both of you, but that rough patches are no excuse to bolt. He sees difficulties as a way to strengthen the bond between you two!

11. He supports your ambitions.

He not only respects the goals you set for yourself, but also encourages you to go after them! Real gentlemen don’t feel inferior to an ambitious partner.

12. Everything is simple with him.

And you wonder how you ever did life without him by your side in the first place.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
