Impress with Finesse

Here at Where the Style Things Are, we love all things stylish but especially stylish and Southern. We've put together the best lists of "Ways to Charm Her," by Amy Bickers. Gentlemen - pay attention!

We still expect you to.....

1. Stand up for a lady (not just for chairs!)
2. Know that the SEC has the best football team in the nation (Big 12 fans, keep walking)

3. Kill bugs (because we will not)

4. Hold doors open (highest return on this investment possible!)

5. Fix things or build stuff (while we watch)

6. Wear boots occasionally (the mud-crusted kind, not the kind you buy at Bergdorfs)

7. Take off your hat inside (I mean...)

8. Grill stuff (and grill it well)

9. Call us (pick up the phone! It works!)

10. Stand when we come back to the dinner table (it. will. melt. us.)

11. Pull out our chairs (because we don't want the maitre d' to!)

12. Pay the tab on the first few dates (no matter who asks...it's just simpler.)

13. Don't show up in a wrinkled, untucked shirt (care about your appearance but not too much; don't smell better than us, don't use mousse or gel)

14. Never get in bar fights (they're embarrassing and you look like an idiot)

15. Know how to mix your favorite cocktail just the way we like it (greyhounds, anyone?)

Just saying!

Big kiss
