While you’re catcalling and being a generic player, the chivalrous gentleman to your left just got a girl. Oh — you thought that was your girl?  No, if you’re a player you don’t get to claim her.

See, he’s telling her she looks nice today and making her feel special and you just told her she looked hot and thew out some other generic slang. How charming.

While he asks how she’s been and listening, you ask and then text that other girl. The one on the side. The one who thinks she’s the only one. The one who matters just as much as the one you’re ignoring now.

You see, chivalry is not dead. It is asleep. And honestly, I don’t even know if I can say that. Chivalry is not asleep, it is merely undiscovered by some gentleman and ignored by others. However, there are a select few who still have manners. A few who were raised by true gentlemen to know how to treat a lady. There are a few who care and a few who do their best to set a good example even when no one is looking.

Chivalry is not dead, it is not asleep, it is merely overlooked and underused.
