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.

You and your family do the right thing. Thank you for being courteous and making the world kinder through you actions.

While I don’t mind opening up my own door, I appreciate it when a guy thinks enough of me to do so. My sister and I were raised to hold a door for others. It feels nice to do something nice for others.

@Fauxmyope2 I think a lot has to do with how you're raised. Keep it up, even if others don't.
