Clothes and Appearance
A gentleman wears a tie (or cravat) with a shirt. He never wears jeans and tee-shirts on a first date. He does not show his chest in a restaurant. He does not have a beard, moustache, nor show chest hair in a restaurant. He is never bare-chested in a public place except on a beach. He does not have missing teeth.
Car
He cleans the car. he removes clutter and dead leaves from the footwell. He clears the passenger seat.
Restaurants
He does not eat in the street. He ensures that his companion has something to eat or drink every couple of hours. He warns if he has to finish a meal early and checks his companion has time for dessert and coffee and if necessary hurries the service.
He drinks water with wine so he does not get drunk nor have bad breath. He does not invite you out just for a coffee then describe the five course dinner he ate last night.
If he chats to the waiter he looks at his companion every second or third sentence to include her in the conversation.
Conversation
He does not talk only about himself and how wonderful he is all evening. He stops every third sentence to allow the other person to speak, agree, or ask questions.
Toilets
Do not leave the toilet seat up. Especially not when visiting a lady. The next man to arrive, her husband, father, son, neighbour, worker, mother, daughter, sister, brother, colleague, boss, employee, male or female, will raise the eyebrows and wonder, 'Who has she been entertaining.'
