I'm sure this is why courting used to work so well in the past, no one really left home, particularly ladies, until they were ready to start a life together, so it was easy to see them with their families. As a "date" they would have dinner at each other's homes instead of going out.<BR/>Now a days, most people move out of the house right out of high school for college and then never move back, or they do move back, but are so embarrassed they never invite anyone over. There is absolutly no reason to be embarrassed about not leaving home. My husband has a cousin who lived at home until she got married last year, at the age of 44! (So there's hope for you older maydens!) While yes, she and her boyfriend (at the time) went out on dates, I met them both several times at family events.<BR/><BR/>God Bless!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2844795802537139760.post-44972095339157513852007-08-12T14:10:00.000-07:002007-08-12T14:10:00.000-07:00Anna,I do think that women who dress more feminine...Anna,<BR/>I do think that women who dress more feminine are treated with more respect!

He was lazy and never helped her when she asked him to. No wonder he started treating me the same eventually.<BR/><BR/>Now I'm engaged to a man who uses his short weekend to help his sister and her husband paint the garage. :-)Mrs. Anna Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15377583333000789903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2844795802537139760.post-42753463356463063032007-08-12T07:34:00.000-07:002007-08-12T07:34:00.000-07:00You can also be a good person to "practice" on for...You can also be a good person to "practice" on for a young man/boy. My brother (who isn't all that young anymore at 19) will use his good manners when given the opportunity, for example, if I rush ahead to open the door for myself, there you go. On the other hand, if I stand by the door until he catches up and opens it for me, he is able to show his "gentility", so to speak.<BR/>So it's not only important to provide an example and encourage them to do the right things, it's also important to let them use their manners.<BR/><BR/>I once hear/read that the best way to see how a suitor would treat you is to see how he treats his mother and sisters, because that is the way he will treat you after the "romance" has "worn off".<BR/><BR/>God Bless!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2844795802537139760.post-52626277652380003082007-08-12T02:48:00.000-07:002007-08-12T02:48:00.000-07:00Thank you for your contribution, Jaclynn.

And even if a young lady doesn't have brothers, she still has to keep in mind her influence on young men around her.<BR/><BR/>PS: Do you know that ever since I switched to skirts/dresses only, the number of men who open the door for me increased dramatically? I always make a point to say 'thank you' and smile graciously, so that they are encouraged to open doors for other women, too!Mrs. Anna Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15377583333000789903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2844795802537139760.post-11365726659736213732007-08-11T19:22:00.000-07:002007-08-11T19:22:00.000-07:00You are welcome! =)You are welcome! =)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2844795802537139760.post-47941810337962636422007-08-11T16:17:00.000-07:002007-08-11T16:17:00.000-07:00Jaclynn, Thankyou for your post.
