If you find the right woman, it's not dead. I wouldn't have anything to do with a woman who wouldn't let me open a door for her.

I drop her off in the driveway, and as I pull out and pull up the road I'll stop in front of the house and make sure she gets all the way in safely. Maybe I'm just paranoid, but I've heard too many stories of kick in crime.

True. It's a different world today. I can understand when you're married or engaged. I like to be a decent human being through other acts of valor but specifically walking a girl to her front door is just cheesy. Every girl now-a-days has a mentality that men just want to get into their pants. More than half the time it's true so I don't blame them.

If I lived in the city, and neither of us had cars, then yes I would walk her to her door and make sure she's inside safely.

Chivalry? The only reason they had that back then was because women had no rights.

It is on both sides of the fence. I have gotten chewed out by a women for opening the door for her. :shocked: But usually at least in Texas, people are pretty receptive to acts of kindness. :) They say "please" and "thank you" over here. Which may not sound like much but it goes a long way.

But on the same hand chilvary isn't dead unless a person individually chooses not to do it. Of course, women can't expect to have it both way, but neither can guys.

It isn't cheesy. It is being considerate. It is a dangerous world out there.

But yeah, it is the type of girl that you are interested in. The girls I have been interested in enjoy doors being opened for them, and in the same way, I enjoy doing it. :) It makes you feel like a man (human being) when you do thing for others. Doing it for the opposite sex is just a plus.

I was in this situation actually. I dated a girl for a year and a half when I lived in NYC. Her apartment was about 25 blocks from mine, and we would often hang out at my place. At the end of the night, I'd often take the bus home with her or walk her home. Often times though, I would be awfully tired and just drop her off at the bus stop or put her in a cab if it was very late. To be honest, I really didn't feel like taking her home all the time, but I felt obligated to.

I almost always do, and to be honest I can't think of a time when I don't. That said, she actually objects to the notion of me doing anything overtly masculine, so she feels compelled to do things on her own. "I don't need to be protected" is a common response from her, so when I do walk her to her door it's with the idea of spending that final 60 seconds with her.

Since I've never lived in a similar city with no cars and a person I'm dating being 30 minutes out of the way...so I have no idea...but I most likely would...although after 2 years of dating, I'd say it would be unlikely that we'd be staying at different residences (even if we had our own residences).

I have a friend, who was working at a pet store, offered to help a lady take her purchases to her car. Her reply was, "I don't need help, I'm a 90's woman". He said he didn't know what that was, but he wasn't going to argue with it.

I always walk girls/moms/sisters/etc to their car/door.

If I don't walk a girl to her door, it's the same thing as me breaking up with her.

Given the OP's scenario:

Of course, yes, I would see her to the door. How else could I expect to get invited in? :evil:
