Dating in the Two Thousands has brought me to a shocking realization. I don't expect much out of dating anymore. Recently, I began dating someone who is thoughtful, kind, opens my doors, helps me with my coat, and pays for the date without question.

I wasn't sure how to handle all of this from a gorgeous, well-mannered, 33-year-old man (I know he sounds 80). On the one hand I'm all about opening my own doors, paying...etc like an equal. And on the other, I have to admit it was nice, I am treated as if I were the most respected and exhaulted of creatures.

And then it dawned on me...Romance! I had completely given up on romance. I had expected men to be unchivalrous. Is this really what dating in the Two Thousands has come down to?

So, while I continue to date Mr. Wonderful I will also be wondering, "Is this guy one in a million, or should I expect this from now on?"

Both. Continue to expect it, and he could be that Mr. Wonderful. Does he have any brothers? I had a date a few weeks ago with someone who could have been Mr. Wonderful, 'cept there was absolutely zero chemistry. Yes he paid for a meal (which I was fully prepared to do), and he was nice and polite....gorgeous, not so much....and he is closer to 80 than your 33 y/o Mr. Wonderful. But without that spark, Mr. Wonderful goes right to....Mr. Just Mr.

So, yeah, if your Mr. Wonderful has any brothers, you know where to send him!

There are definitely decent guys out there. They're just not a dime-a-dozen, like what you're accustomed to.

Treat him well, and make sure he knows that you appreciate him.
