It's as if everyone is out for the "one night stand's" at a bar or something. I need long term....not 1 week.

Who said I go to bars to find bars? I'm underage, first of all...and secondly, I see "bars" as the place to be now, nothing else.

I suppose it all depends on what a "Gentleman" is, right? You didn't explain that at all. If what you mean is someone who fawns over you and laughs at everything you say and generally kisses your butt, well, that's not a gentleman; that's an idiot.
But if you are looking for one of us, the elusive honest man, the type of guy who will look you in the eye and smile when he holds open the door for you, or walks on the outside of the sidewalk so you don't get splashed by a passing car, well, we are those guys you probably wouldn't give a second look because we are, generally, just regular guys. We respect our ladies, and they know it. They, our ladies, are treated well because they have earned us, so to speak.
You can...maybe...catch our eye if you aren't loud and obnoxious. You might find one of us in places you would even think of looking for a man, let alone your soul mate. We look for honesty, and something beyond the one night stand, too. We don't look for the trophy girlfriend...we want our lady to be our friend, and it usually works out just that way. We...us gentlemen and our ladies...have wonderful, deeply emotional friendships. Right guys?
Can you handle a Gentleman? I wonder.
I know of a lucky woman who can..and I am very lucky to know her, and to have her in my life. She really brings out the gentleman in me.

Well it seems you didnt really have a "question" per say.. so I thought I might just vent / relate to you... I find it weird that for the past year or so, I've been the lame person at school and work, the one who doesnt like to party or do drugs. the one who wants to stay at home with a movie or go out to dinner. Yet, I have no friends to enjoy this with because the ones I did have, got into the drugging, boozing and slutting around so i ditched them. But it seems as though everyone who commented on this page is the same way?? Why is it that I cant find a single person to hang out with, or a normal guy to date in this entire city, but there are like 10 people in the saaaame boat as me right here..? Honestly, when someone finds a way to meet normal, down to earth, non-drug using people that are 19-25, please let me know.. that would be great. All i really want to do is settle down and be happy.. I want a family.. Im sick of living alone, working alone and spending time alone. its pretty lonely to say the least. sorry for the rant.. but i know exactly where your coming from.

boys and men have taken over society. Gentlemen are hard to find. i guess its just how eveything is right now. Movies, life styles, these things dont quite help the gentlemen poise and style.
Trying to find a gentleman is hard, but just look for someone you could relate to. chances are, if you connect, you may have found your gentleman. As for being old fashioned, opening doors, pulling out seats, and standing when a lady leaves and enters the room really isnt hard to come by. except for the standing part...ive only known one other person besides me who does that still.
i hope you find your gentleman. good luck

Well my answer to this question would be simply you either in the "age" group where people are still searching for what they want and the guys you attract are not sick of playing around. Maybe you should look into finding a new place to find the "right" kind...or see if you yourself are truly letting yourself be available.(you may be pushing them away by being too forward)..there is a BUNCH of great guys out there....and of course you meet them all when you have found the one for you!
Quit looking so hard...it will come!
I wish you luck.

they're there, unfortunately most people are extremely shallow and have high expectations, they expect not only a perfect gentlemen but a good looking person. but there is hope but is rare to find believe it or not the Internet. truth is your young and naive you should cherish these one week things, because one day your in a relationship and you have to deal with the fact that you could be with that person a long time, and trust me most of the time it doesn't work out the way you want it. so stop trying to grow up and enjoy it while you have it!.

Because people don't care anymore. If you talk to someone for more than 20 minutes they expect sex.
My advice is to just wait it out and keep your eyes peeled for scumbag charletons.
By the way, all these men that say "I'm a gentleman" are the ones you have to watch out for. A quality guy's sincerity shows through no matter what he says. In a world saturated with sex, people seem to forget what a relationship is, but FRET NOT.
There are still men like myself out there. But there are GOOD ONES, too.

It's all about where you're looking. If you want to find a gentleman then you have to go to places that a gentleman would want to be. "Do as you've always done and you'll get what you've always gotten". You wont find a new car in a used car lot.

Because us "gentlemen" have had being gentlemen trained out of us starting in the 1960s. Women's rights groups (which are now mostly fat ugly hairy lesbians) have been in control of how people raised their young people. Women ignored gentlemen in favor of jerks. Gentlemen were told by women they were no longer wanted. So they went away....or at least most of us did.
Stop meeting guys at bars.

It depends where you look. No guy I know would go to a club or bar to find a girl to settle down with.
