To Call or Not To Call….
Thursday, July 29th, 2010Dear English Gentleman,
I’ve been talking to this guy, and usually he’d be the first to contact me. And he used to complain about him always being the first to contact me, and how he thinks I don’t want to talk to him. But now he plays this little game where he won’t contact me at [...]
Springtime Love, Timeless Love
Thursday, July 22nd, 2010Dear English Gentleman,
I am in my early 20s, and have been with my guy since I was 18 – he was 26 when we met. Do you think that age/maturity affects a person’s perspective on love? If yes, how so? Did you love differently as a teenager than you did as an adult? Do you [...]
First Date
Saturday, July 10th, 2010Dear English Gentleman,
This guy that I have been “talking” to asked me to the movies and I said yes. The only problem is I don’t have a job and my mom is really old fashioned and said I could only go if he was going to pay. So she is not going to give me [...]

Most of my friends are geeks like me and our social lives consist mostly of playing with nerf guns at the server farm during idle work hours or huge networked shooter game tournaments with remote friends [...]
Wordsmithery
Wednesday, June 23rd, 2010Dear English Gentleman,
What’s the polite way to refer to a person’s womanly bits, in public and in private company?
Thanks,
Manchester Boy.
Dear Manchester Boy,
Why – and most importantly from a gentleman’s perspective, to whom – are you referring to about a person’s womanly bits? Something of a tangential reference might – only very occasionally in one’s life – be [...]
Three-day Rule
Monday, June 7th, 2010Dear English Gentleman,
Is there a different “English Gentleman’s” rule to calling a girl after the first date? Or is it a true gentleman’s custom to wait the traditional three days?
Thanks,
Will
Dear Will,
Well, this is one rule that An English Gentleman is definitely suspicious of. In my opinion if dating is a serious endeavour (and why shouldn’t it be?) [...]
