“If You Were My Girlfriend...”|“如果你是我女友……”

1. They’d Treat You Like A Lady
While some guys might think that chivalry3 is dead, it’s something that matters immensely to the Jonas Brothers. “We really feel that it is important to be a gentleman—that’s how we were raised,” Nick says.“I find that girls really like it when you are like that. I’ll open a door for a girl, and she’ll be like, ‘Oh, no one’s done that for me in a really long time.’”
“I think guys should still open a door for a girl every chance they get, every time,” Kevin adds.“They should try to take care of a girl as much as possible. She’s like a princess, no matter what.”

2. They’d Dress To Impress
Don’t expect Kevin, Joe or Nick to pick you up for a date looking disheveled4 with baggy pants down to their ankles, burping5 from the soda they just chugged6. These guys would wear their finest threads7 and carry themselves with dignity.  
“Girls really appreciate having good table manners,” Joe shares.“Not only is it important to us to respect a girl, but to respect ourselves. We want to be presented in a way that is not sloppy8 or anything like that.”

3. They’d Make You Feel At Ease
The Jonas Brothers would always make you feel like the center of attention and you’d never be lacking for conversation—especially with Kevin. “I’m a people person9, and I try to make everyone feel comfortable,” he reveals.

4. They’d Send You Gifts
The guys tour quite a bit and are never in the same place for too long. But they know all about making a long distance relationship work. Out of sight never means out of mind.
“There was this girl I liked, and she lived in a different country,” Joe shares.“I send her a big bouquet of flowers, and sending flowers from a different country can be expensive.”


1.他们给你淑女的待遇
虽然也许有人认为骑士风度已经过时,但对于乔纳斯兄弟来说这点却至关重要。“我们真的感觉做个绅士很重要——我们就是这样被教育大的,”尼克说,“我发现当你这样做的时候,女孩们会很欣赏。我会帮女孩开门,她会说‘啊,好久都没人这样对我了。’”
“我觉得男人但凡有机会就该为女孩开门,”凯文补充道,“他们应该尽可能地照顾好女生。无论如何,她就像个公主。”

2.他们打扮得引人注目
别想着凯文、乔或是尼克来接你约会时,会蓬头垢面,穿着拖至脚踝、松松垮垮的裤子,嘴里因刚喝了汽水而打着嗝。相反,他们会穿上最好的衣服,彬彬有礼。
“女孩子很欣赏得体的餐桌礼仪,”乔透露,“尊重女孩和尊重自己同样重要。我们不希望在她们面前表现得邋里邋遢的。”

3. 他们令你感到轻松
乔纳斯兄弟会让你觉得自己始终是被关注的焦点,你也绝不会没话说——尤其是和凯文在一起。“我是一个很外向的人,我会尽量让每个人都感到舒服。”他说。

4. 他们会送你礼物
他们常常到处跑,从不在一个地方常住,但他们都懂得如何维持远距离关系。不在眼前绝不意味着不在心中。
“曾经有个我喜欢的女孩,她住在国外,”乔说出他的秘密,“我送了一大束花给她,要知道从国外送花很贵的。”
