7 things guys could learn from Yago

In this day and age, does the code of chivalry still apply? With the advent of social media and the advancement of technology, the line between flirting and dating has been blurred. Let Carmela’s knight in shining armor, Yago show guys how to treat a lady.

1. Never make a girl wait.

In going out with a girl you like, you have to make her feel at ease in your company. Just like Yago, you should never show up late. Every second of anyone’s time is precious. As a sign of respect, you should never make a girl wait. Be a gentleman and pick her up at her house just like Yago does every single time.

2. Make her laugh.

Stimulating conversations are always a good thing, but a sense of humor always does the trick. Girls secretly love witty comebacks and even corny jokes. As long as the effort is there, it will be appreciated. Yago always teases Carmela and pretends to make fun of her, but deep inside, he truly cares for her. That’s his charm and it can be yours too.

3. Be her crying shoulder.

It’s not just about the good times. If you’re really sincere, you should also be there for her when she needs someone to lean on. When Carmela vents about her problems, Yago is always there to listen. She gets to share her family problems and frustrations with Yago and his mere presence lightens things up for Carmela. This is what makes Yago a keeper.

4. A little effort goes a long way.

There’s a difference between grandstanding and sincerity. Taking the girl of your dreams to a fine dining restaurant and showering her with gifts may seem like good ideas, but really, the simplest of things can make a girl’s heart flutter. Yago writes love letters to Carmela, gives her flowers without any occasion and takes her on a vacation when she least expects it. These sweet nothings will definitely make an impact.

5. Persevere.

When you are pursuing someone, you should be willing to wait for that person to be ready. If you really like someone, even if she turns you down, you will not give up. You will stick around to let her know how much she means to you. Carmela has turned down Yago before because he’s younger than her and because their families don’t approve of them for each other. However, Yago persevered and this is one of the reasons why he won Carmela’s heart.

6. Say what you mean.

Confusing signals will only make things more complicated. Get real. If you love someone, let her know. Don’t just say it, show it. Yago is very vocal with his love for Carmela. He fought for his love for Carmela despite the difficult circumstances surrounding them. Eventually, Carmela declared her love for him too.

7. Stick to one.

Even before Yago and Carmela declared their love for each other, Yago only had eyes for Carmela. There were girls who showed interest in him, but he only pursued Carmela because only she sparked in him a feeling that brought his head in the clouds. Collecting and selecting may be trendy right now, but it can also hurt others in the long run. Moreover, open relationships diminish the value of love that should only be shared between two people. Be a man like Yago and love selflessly.
