When my best friend Mia set me up with her boyfriend’s friend Eric, she promised he was a total gentleman. On our first date, he proved her right—roses, a thoughtful engraved keychain, charming conversation, and unwavering attentiveness. Dinner was perfect, and when the bill came, he insisted on paying with a firm, almost old-fashioned finality.
I went home thinking I’d just had one of the best dates of my life.
