Gentlemen vs. Guys

How do we tell a gentlemen versus a guy? At this point in my life sometimes i fell the only thing people expect of me is to woo a guy and marry him, but i don't want a guy i want a gentlemen. I want that gentlemen that you read about in books, respectful, traditional meaning he opens my door, he walks on the outside, he carries in the groceries, loving, playful, priesthood worthy, great person. You know, that one? The thing is that gentlemen, he is really hard to find.
Some call me picky too many standards, I say to them, "I am sorry you had to settle." He is out there. The person that will maybe not always agree with you but he will respect and not belittle your opinion. The person that will respect and protect his family and his country. The person that will take pride in all he does. The person that won't go in for a kiss/kill on the first night he will be a gentlemen and know that you both need to get to know each other, and if he really likes and respects you he will wait until you are his girlfriend and has intentions on pursuing you. He will ask my dads permission to marry me, he will hold his membership in the Church as a top priority, and he will be honest, faithful, and loving to his wife.
I know that gentlemen are hard to come by in this day, in this world, but they are out there and girls you deserve them. Drop the guys you are settling for, and demand a gentlemen. Be a lady yourself and you will attract the gentlemen. And to you gentlemen out there, don't settle for just the girls, wait hold out for us ladies.

Selflessness

I started a series about two years ago, by Traci Abramson, and I must say she is my favorite author right now. She writes in a way that just captures me and every time I open the books I become apart of the battlefield or love. These books are about six navy seals that find who they are and their other half's.

 

 These men are selfless they give complete strangers everything they have they even put their lives on the line more than once for people they have known for only minutes. These men also are members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. I just find that I want to be more like them. I want to be selfless in my giving, I want to give all that I have with no regret to the stranger on the street. I want to save a life. I may not be able to take a bullet for them but I can bring them the Gospel, I can share my Testimony selflessly.

I accept the challenge that these fictional characters have brought to my attention. That is to be selfless. I am going to give this life everything I have. I am going to save lives and give the clothes of my back, weather the Lord wants me to literally or figuratively I am ready and prepared to give all I have.
