Politeness and acting in a gentlemanly fashion towards a young lady is actually still appreciated in today's world. Although it seems "old fashioned" the Bible even speaks a bit on this subject. This is for the young men of the church. 1 Timothy 5:2-" The elder women as mothers; the younger as sisters, with all purity." Not only does that mean that you should guard their purity in conversation, but also be kind and aware of their needs. Treat them as a younger sister. If they are carrying a large load, open the door. Or better yet, offer to carry it for them. If they are being treated rudely by another young man, stand up for them. If they are without a seat or their seats have been taken, give them yours. If you have wronged them, ask their forgiveness. If they are true ladies, they will appreciate it. If not, don't take it personally and don't be discouraged! I know you are not very encouraged by the young women and media today, but don't let that stop you from being gentlemen! Everyone of you have it in you to be one, and I know you can do it. Doing the right thing may not always be rewarding, but it will be appreciated and you will be greatly respected and admired for doing so. :)
Your sister in Christ,
