Guys...Do You Open the Door for a Girl?

My daughter started dating this guy and after the third date she asked him why he didn't open the car door for her. He responded, "Can't you do it?" She said, "Of course I can, but it would be nice if you did." My husband always opens the door for me, runs and opens doors for other people, holds the elevator door open for people, helps them with their groceries, returns shopping carts, and other simple but kindly gestures (FYI... my daughters and I also do these things). Is it a lost thing? Maybe I'm old fashioned, but to me it's just the right thing to do.

I think its awkward when people run around the car to open the door for me. Like.. i can do it myself 😂

Hold the door open for people if it's not horribly inconvenient or if they need help, but don't make everything more difficult than it needs to be imo

@TeamSkullGrunt It's not like we stand there waiting for someone to open the door for us. But if your hands are free and you get to the car at the same time, it's just a nice gesture.
