People say how Gatsby is such a gentleman and knows how to use love in the right way and not in the wrong way. He is polite and does not take love to his advantage whatsoever.

His eyes floated toward her which means that he was so happy that she had offered to go downtown with him and his eyes just lit up like fireworks. Gatsby found love and he is the real American lover because he knows when he is in love and how to use his love.

When that happens that's when he knows that he is living his dream and not the kind of dream from his childhood when his family wasn't living the best life that he wanted to live. Daisy knows that he will be very thankful if she loves him and spends time with him, so she is trying to do whatever she can to make him
