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 was a Boy Scout and an Assistant Scoutmaster. When I hold a door for an elderly person, I say, if it's a woman, "My mom is three hundred miles away, and I can't do it for her, so I do it for you." If it is a man, I say, "I can't do it for my dad, he's gone, so I do it for you."
