druidess6308: I'm from NH originally, and when I moved her to PA I had to adjust to certain things like having doors opened for me, a guy coming around to open my car door, stuff like that. It used to tick me off, but I've adjusted, and now I kinda like it. So, for me, if he does it, fine. If he doesn't do it, also fine.
I'm more concerned with his overall manners. Is he kind to others? Does he listen when someone is speaking to him? Does he open the door for someone who is carrying a heavy or awkward load of stuff? Does he clear his own dishes away, or help his mother with things she needs done? Does he say "please" and "thank you"? And does he tip the waitress? Those are the things I care more about.
I totally agree! I watch for those things too. I hate when a guy leaves me behind when we're leaving a restaurant or somewhere. Or makes me pay for my own meal. I had a guy beg me to go out once then said, I only have a 20 can you get the rest. And I didn't even want to go out. I watch how they treat their mother and children also. I watch everything!
