12 Ways You Know He's The Perfect Millennial Gentleman

If his pockets are filled with cash and not fidget spinners, I don't want to date him.

12 Ways You Know He's The Perfect Millennial Gentleman

It's 2017 and I've written about dating culture so much I think my Facebook friends hate me.

However, I have yet to write much about millennials (does anyone else hate this word and also how "millennial pink" is a thing??) and dating. I've read sporadic articles about how ~casual dating~ is in, millennials don't care about sexual orientation or gender identity very much and even some weird articles about people marrying themselves.

It's strange, as there haven't been many articles about Millennial Gentlemanâ„¢. I'm talking about chivalry not being dead, your man putting down his phone to speak to you face-to-face.

Find some of what I think to be prime Millennial Gentlemanâ„¢ attributes you need to find in a partner soon.

1. He lets you use his fidget spinner when yours breaks.

Thankfully you've got a man who knows what it means to care about another person.

2. He tweets about you looking like a snack.

When Twitter user @cybersygh tweeted about calling girls snacks, it started a revolution. Previously, people were calling girls glazed donuts due to makeup causing that glow. Now, boys are calling girls grilled cheese - how cute.

3. He unfollows his booty calls on Instagram.

The kindest thing a guy could ever do for you.

4. He shares the aux cord with you.

He wouldn't be dating you if he didn't believe your music taste is impeccable, would he?

5. He sends you pictures of dogs.

It's like Dogspotting but instead of a Facebook group, it's the details part of your iMessage thread.

6. He buys two pizzas: one for you, one for him.

Sharing food?? Why do that? Bonus points for garlic knots.

7. He gives you the WiFi password on the first date.

He understands the pain of having 10% of data left with 7 days to go in your billing cycle *swoon*. And since he cares for you, giving you the password is no big deal.

8. He gets you nuggets.

I'm not talking diamonds because millennials aren't buying them, according to this article. Uh, sorry that my current job is being a babysitter??

9. He sends you dank memes.

If he doesn't do this, break up with him immediately. Is he even a real millennial??

10. He offers to take an Insta-worthy picture of you, before you even ask.

The lighting is perfect, the mural you're standing in front of is so trendy and he has an iPhone 7 Plus with portrait mode...you've taught him so well.

11. He lets you use his Hulu account.

No one has Hulu and you can finally watch the rest of "Community"!!! This is true intimacy.

12. He turns his phone on silent whenever he's with you.

There's nothing worse than someone you're with looking at their phone all the time. For you, he'd do anything and keep the phone on silent to pay attention to everything you're saying.


Whoever and whatever your man does, as long as he respects you and cares for you, then he really is a perfect millennial gentleman.

If he needs help, a quick Google search of "millennial gentleman" brings up a blog about a guy going through life "in the most gentlemanly manner possible". Maybe that will help.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
