Is he a limited species?

Apparently it is said that my boyfriend is a dying species. It's kind of funny and hard for me to believe. He opens door for me, refuses to ever let me pay for anything, gets along well with my parents, in fact, I think my mom loves him more!! He can cook and cook well! He is always cooking for me, likes to get out and be adventurous but always makes sure that I can do it, gives me a break when I am on my period and makes life easy, that means tons of chocolate! The weird thing is when we go to the beach. He will always wait for me to catch up, but when we are in the water he goes ahead and expects me to be able to take care of myself. Unless I am drowning or in distress, he goes on. I don't really mind, because we both know that I am a lifeguard. XD He is just a really modest guy in his relationships. He always makes sure that I am enjoying myself.

Is it true that these type of guys are dying out? Do you have one like me? Let me know.

No, I don't believe they are dying out at all.

I have a guy like that. He is what you would consider a "nice guy"
I don't know how often, at least a couple times a month he comes home and tells me a story of something he did for someone that day, like helps people broken down along the road constantly, he is always fixing something for someone. My favorite is when we were on our honeymoon. We stayed at Disneyworld and I was tired so I stayed in the room and took a nap while he ran over to MGM park to get a hat he saw earlier in the day and when he got back on the bus there was this little girl with her mom sitting beside him and the little girl was crying. Now my hubby will talk to ANYONE and talk their ear off! So he ask the little girl why she was crying and she said cause she just got done seeing the beauty and the beast show and they didn't sing her favorite song. He then asked her what song was her favorite and she said the one where the dishes sing Be our guest. So my husband knowing every Disney movie by heart proceeds to sing the song to her with the accents and everything. He can actually sing it really well...LOL
Well needless to say she made it sing it over and over until they got off the bus.
He definitly made her day!

Welcome to the board cherrysweety.

I don't think nice guys are a dying breed. My DH is often accused of being "too nice"! He is always going out of his way to help other people, and is very much a gentlemen.

While he doesn't dote on me, he is very considerate of me (as I am to him also). It's important in a relationship to be able to count on your partner that way. I also think it has to do with how a person is raised, or what they are exposed to in their society.

I used to live in an area where people were always on the go, in a hurry, very career oriented, and often rude in general. For many of them, I think they were in such a hurry they couldn't see beyond their own demands. Where I live now (in the South), people are much more laid back, and polite. My DH hasn't changed between the two environments, but I do notice the difference in people here. I think it has made me more conscious of the importance of consideration while raising my boys.
