Writer enjoys a bit of texture to his life. He doesn't like to go mindlessly from task to task. No, writer enjoys a guide that keeps him on his toes. His guide? Etiquette.
Life is ever becoming more casual, though. Isn't it? Traditionalists say it's a shame. We're losing our link to a bygone era, and maybe becoming ever more conspicuous. If one is going to be conspicuous, one should be conspicuous for proper decorum.
Writer has chosen three almost lost etiquette practices.
1. Courtship
Writer's lady friends are always complaining about how their so called "Southern beaus" don't romance them. Some behave as if they simply don't care. Romantic gestures aren't a thing of the past. Courtship should be on-going throughout a relationship. It's about how one partner makes the other feel, and it isn't vulgar. Think about that for a moment.
2. Walking street-side
One concedes that the women's liberation movement has done a lot. One thing it did away with might have stayed. When a man escorts a lady on a sidewalk, one believes that he should walk street-side. This isn't taking away rights. It's precautionary. If a lady were to trip, she could be ran over! Be cordial, men. Make the sacrifice.
3. Not creating a registry
This is tough, but Writer doesn't believe one should create a registry no matter the event. Creating a registry is much like asking for a gift. Would one do this without the buffer of scanning gun?
