<p>I think it's nice a great little special thing to happen. My husband used to do it, however things change, he is now 84 and uses a cane I sometimes help him in and out. Since he is 16.5 years older than I am I'll give him a break. He would like to be my hero still but it isn't practical anymore.</p>

Car door - now that's a different matter! Maybe on a first date a guy might do it to impress, but after 40 years of marriage, I certainly wouldn't expect it to be done for me. Entirely different kettle of fish! Lol

<p>Well, Eaglewoman; that's how things stand in this day and age. It's good to have a balance and doing things on one's own. When and if someone holds the door open for me, I just say "Thank you" and I find that that always has a positive effect for both the person holding the door and for myself. And then, I just go about my business. Nobody judges anyone in that regard. But, I am speaking for myself here and my experiences with the door holding issue.</p>

<p>Any guy who opens the door for a woman is showing respect for the woman, IMO. Any guy who won't do that, does not have my respect for him as a guy. An exception to this is if an unintentional mistake occurred, such as accidentally forgetting to hold a door. But then again, it's based on the guy's attitude towards women as well. So, IMO it is not only a desire to have a man holding a door; but, a necessity as a measure of good manners and civilized behavior, thank you very much. </p>

I love it, even if it IS classed as 'old fashioned'. Makes you feel a bit special!
