Looking for a Gentleman

Q: How do I find a gentleman? I'm single and starting to get out into dating again. I am finding that todays mores are in a terrible condition. What has happened to courtesy, thoughtfulness, manners and conversation. I can text, go on the PC, and much more. What has happened to calling on the phone.

Do any of these men still exist in today's society???? ~ Jakey
