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.

my thoughts: when we arrive at the door the same time, I kind of expect it to be opened for me
if I'm there before you, I'll open it myself TY

@SW-User Yes, I don't just stand there waiting for someone to open if for me. But if they're first or at the same time, it's a nice gesture.
