I went on a date the other day, and I was so happy my date was very persistent about opening all the doors and letting me go first all the time. I am a sucker for that stuff. For me, making an effort to do that helps make the date feel like an occasion other than friends going out. Not that you can't do that for your friends.

So guys, when you are "courting" a lady, do you consciously open doors and stuff? Do you do that for everyone? Only special people? Or something else? Would love to also know your age too, to see if it is generational. *

*my date was early 30s

My husband and I are in our forties, and he opens the door for me wherever we go.

Even after being married 40+ years, I still ALWAYS open the door for my wife.

Yes and the only reason I do it is because I'm a beta people pleaser.

Yes I open doors for all women, but I'm somewhat of a people pleaser

Although I try my best to be chivalrous (I'm a Christian) it's kinda weird how women want chivalry but it can't exist in an equal society

Mid 30's. I open doors for everyone whenever I get the chance. Shoot me if I miss opening a car door, pulling out a chair, or removing a coat here and there. Being respectful is my top priority when dating, not chivalry.

Can't open the door yourself? The person that reaches the door first should hold it for the other one....it's not a job that requires a penis...just basic politeness.

Yes, I hold the door for whoever is behind me and has permission to enter the premises. It is gender independent.

Yes LOL simply because I think I'd be waiting all night for a girl to open the door for me! 😂😂😂
