I notice more and more that teenagers and young adults lack manners. Now, I’m not talking formal manners just everyday manners. Basic manners that are common knowledge—or at least I thought they were. This blog is dictated to basic manners…leave the formal stuff to high-society and royalty, most of us will never be in the position to use such etiquette. The etiquette on this bog is for everyday use. I’ll make it fast and to the point. If you have questions just ask. I’ll add a SHOW OFF section every now and again just in case there are those of you who really want to look cool and impress the people you are with (for date night or more formal situations). ROMEO: is for the men who want to be gentlemen and JULIET: is for the women who want to be ladies. So moms, dads, grandparents, and teachers bookmark this blog and share it with the kids in your life and watch their self-confidence soar as they learn some Marginal Manners.

Boys…Dudes…Dogs...Young Men…Gentlemen…

(see you don't even need to pay attention when you do it)

ALWAYS allow the female to talk through the door before you—I don’t care if it is your grandma, mom, sister, girlfriend, wife, or a total stranger. I also don’t care if you’re walking into the Red Lobster, a grocery store, mall, AMPM, or the front door to your home…if you are male and there is a woman present you must ALWAYS allow her to go first.
*I know at times the last thing you want is for the lady to go first but try and stick to this as much as you can. Now if she is being a pain in the butt, you can always give her a gentle shove through the door, but remember she must go first.
SHOW OFF: If possible, actually hold the door open for her.
ROMEO: When out on a date, open the car door for your lady (when she gets in and gets out). It makes no difference if you are in a big ‘ol jacked up truck, a Corolla, or even a Porsche. When you pull up to your destination always walk around the front of the car (that way she can check you out as you make your way to her side. If you’re brave enough you can give her a quick wink as you glance at her through the windshield—trust me she won’t forget that gesture for a very long time).
